About this Event

Your brain controls all of your body’s functions. But how does it tell each part what to do?

Your body has billions of clever neurons that work together to carry messages from your brain to other parts of your body.

Come and learn all about neurons. Get involved and create your own colourful neurons!


All ages welcome

As well as the drop-in activity, the Physicians’ Gallery has a children’s medical library, colouring-in, worksheets and a dressing-up station available every day.


Drop-in activity running from 11am to 2pm

Physicians’ Gallery open from 10am to 4:30pm
