Community Fair

Ever fancied programming your own robot, hunting for meteorites or exploring how our amazing hearts work?

The day is jam-packed with interactive activities for all ages. Whether you’re interested in science, arts, engineering or history, there’s plenty of hands-on fun and opportunities for discovery and play.

Budding scientists can drive a LEGO Mars Rover, peek inside our wonderful brains or enter a world of virtual reality. Bring out your inner artist through creative and crafty activities including ‘found poetry’, screen printing tote bags, clay making and face painting. And for those with energy to burn, there will be a series of sporting challenges, circus skills, a climbing wall and helter-skelter to whiz down.
