About This Event

Our popular rocket launching sessions are back! Children can make their own rockets and fire them from a special rocket launcher, trying to beat the record set at Woolsthorpe by astronaut Tim Peake himself. Plus, on these days families can also enjoy craft activities themed around light, using cyanotype paper to explore Newton's theories.
