Wollaton Hall will be holding a range of free exciting science activities for a jam packed Family Fun Weekend on the 15th – 16th February.

  • ExploreDome, which is an inflatable planetarium (thirty-minute shows throughout the day)
  • Handling session with real specimens from the Nottingham Natural History Museum.
  • Make and launch your own rocket with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers
  • CollAge, to explore ageing and exercise with full-sized human body collages from Keith Bloody Mary and Dr Lisa Chakrabarti.
  • Demonstrations on Conducting Nature and Carbon Chemistry Busking.

These activities will all be held in the Great Hall, and they are free for the whole family throughout the weekend, so no need to book ahead, just drop in and enjoy.

All weekend, there will also be exciting Plant Blindness Workshops, in the Camellia House, delving deeper into the world of plants through sound and movement, as part of the ongoing Plant Blindness Exhibition.

What better way to engage your inquisitive little ones in the School Holidays than through
exploring plants? You’ll get the opportunity to listen to them, capture their appearance through art, and an imaginative writing session. For the full details, please see the Plant Blindness Workshop event.
