About this Event

In this exciting hands-on workshop, participants will use real forensic techniques to solve a chocolate mystery and search for the culprit.

Participants will investigate clues using fingerprint analysis, handwriting comparisons, DNA testing, and other fascinating scientific methods. By experimenting, testing, and analysing evidence left behind at the scene, they’ll work together to uncover the culprit.

Throughout the workshop, participants will explore different types of forensic evidence, learn how scientists use clues to solve crimes, and piece together the puzzle in a fun, interactive environment. Perfect for curious minds who love science, mysteries, and hands-on discovery!

For children who have just completed Years 5 and 6 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 9–11 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.
