Join our back-yard scientist and discover what it takes to build a rocket fit for space.
In this explosive family-friendly adventure, delve into rocket science as we explore forces, test materials, and prepare for launch. So strap-in, countdown, and blast-off for a show that’s out of this world.
This is a friendly performance; there will be some loud noises, but you can download a visual story from our website and we’ll have ear defenders available. For any audience members who need a break (or the loo!), re-entry to show is allowed.
