Zap!

From lightning bolts in the sky to the energy that powers our homes - electricity is all around us. But how many of us really understand what it is, or how it works?

Join us for an interactive family show as we explore the science behind the sparks!

With live experiments, fun demonstrations, and fascinating science, we’ll demystify electricity, reveal how it powers our everyday lives, and show the amazing ways it shapes the world around us.

Access Information

Please note this show contains (voluntary) audience participation and loud noises. This show uses equipment that produces very high voltages and strong electric fields. There is a risk that this could affect implanted medical devices such as cochlear implants, pacemakers, insulin pumps and similar. Any audience member with one of these devices is asked to sit towards the back of the venue and not volunteer to take part in any of the demonstrations.

We offer free Essential Companion tickets for those with access requirements and need someone to accompany them to make their visit easier and more comfortable. These can be booked online at the same time as booking a ticket to this event.
