There will be 2 BIG science shows run by the experts at Bright Sparks Science for which you’ll need tickets:

– 1pm Amazing Air

– 2.30pm Space and Time

The Abbey clergy will be walking on custard (rather than water…) at around 2pm – completely unmissable!

This is great fun (you may even get to have a go yourself…) and also a classic demonstration of a non-Newtonian liquid.

Forest Church does Science

Their massively popular monthly Forest Church has created special science tables for the under 6’s with simple hand-on experiments based on the environment.

It’s right next to the tea table so you can eat and drink while you science.

Do pop in and join us!
