About this Event

Who pushed Humpty Dumpty? Can you clear the King, horse, or Duke of York?

In this highly interactive workshop, led by Dr Rowena Fletcher-Wood, a science communicator, you will set up your own crime scene. Carry out your investigation by scanning with UV light, collecting evidence, testing for fingerprints and conduct egg spatter analysis.

There are 2 sessions, each session is 60 minutes: 10.30-11.30 and 14.00-15.00.

This workshop is suitable for ages 5-11.

Tickets are free and can be booked online via Eventbrite or at the Museum Shop. Each child's ticket includes entry for one accompanying adult. Please ensure children are supervised at all times.

We recommend booking in advance to secure your place.
