Uniformed Group Day
Saturday 21 November 2026
11.00am - 4.00pm
Calling all Beavers, Rainbows, Cubs and Brownies!
Join us for our annual Uniformed Group Day and take part in a range of exciting science experiments and activities. Discover the fascinating world of light and colour, build circuits and batteries, code robots, and launch a rocket-powered car to see how far it can travel.
These four fantastic 25-minute workshops will run as a carousel, starting at either 11.00am or 1.45pm. The full carousel programme lasts approximately 2 hours and will take place in various learning spaces around the museum.
