Paint, make, experiment and dig with a make and take activity in our visitor centre. Make as much mess as you like!
About this Event

Ever wanted to try marble painting or that messy science experiment but without making a mess at home?

Our make and take kits come with a space to carry out your activity and get as messy as you like with squash and biscuits whilst you create!

With lots of options to choose from including slime making, pom pom animals, build a rocket and more.

Pre-booking is recommended to avoid disappointment as we have a limited number of kits each day.

We have a different kit available from 10:30am to 3:00pm each day over the May half term, see the full schedule below:

Saturday 23rd May - Unicorn Slime Making

Sunday 24th May - Rock Painting

Monday 25th May - Pom Pom Animals

Tuesday 26th May - Build a Rocket

Wednesday 27th May - Moon Excavation

Thursday 28th May - Squishy Dino Painting
