Imagineering – May Half-Term

Saturday 24 May – Sunday 1 June | Open Everyday

Where engineering and imagination combine! This May half-term we are diving into a week of hands-on learning and discovery with Imagineering:

🗼 Build the tallest structure to rival our standpipe tower in the straw tower challenge. Weekdays, 11:00-12:00 in the Splash Zone.
🌞 Use the power of the sun to create beautiful prints in a cyanotype workshop. Weekdays, 13:00-14:00 in the Splash Zone. This activity will be canceled if it is raining or there is a heavy cloud coverage. There will be an alternate activity during this time in the Steam Hall if canceled.
⚙️ Engineering Craft. Make it spin! All day in the Waterworks Gallery.

Join us for a train filled weekend to end Half Term! Thomas Wicksteed will be steaming on the tracks Saturday May 31, and Sunday June 1 starting around midday! Tickets cost £1 on top of museum entry.

📍 Drop-in daily | Fun for all ages

Come imagine, invent, and get inspired this half term!
