How did science help to defend a castle? Discover the medieval engineering that powered trebuchets. Have a go at making and firing your own mini model. We’ll also be using science to make things go bang!
As well as drop-in activities running all day, there will be interactive roleplay at 11.15, 13.15 and 14.15.
Free and no booking required.
(There is a bookable SEND families version of these activities on 20 August, 10am to 10:45am. Book the SEND session at https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/wakefield-museums-castles/trebuchet-challenge-send-families/e-rgblvm)
