About this Event

Using hands-on experiments, lively games, and interactive challenges, participants will journey through the story of life on Earth—exploring how living things have changed over millions of years, and why it took so long. From basic single celled organisms to complex life, they will find out about the steps of evolution.

Along the way, they will discover that every living thing carries a set of instructions inside its body and explore how these instructions change and mutate. To finish, participants will use laboratory equipment to extract DNA from fruit and see this remarkable molecule for themselves.

For children who have just completed Years 3 and 4 this term - please book based on your child’s current/most recent school year, not their new year group from September. This typically corresponds to children aged around 7–9 years old. We reserve the right to refund or deny entry to those who are not in the correct year group.

Refunds can only be issued for tickets cancelled at least two weeks (14 calendar days) in advance of the event date. Please note that this supersedes our normal event terms and conditions.
