Operation Earth – Weekend Workshops

Visit Catalyst at weekends between 18th April and 17th May for a chance to see our Operation Earth Show!

Come along to our family show and together, with the help of expert scientists, we can investigate what is bothering poorly Earthy. Become a trainee environmental scientist and help us investigate Earthy’s land, air and oceans and see if together we can identify and find solutions to Earthy’s problems.

This workshop is supported by NERC and the ASDC

Shows at 12:30am and 3:00pm

Tickets for the show cost £2.75 per person in addition to the normal admission price and they can be booked in reception on arrival.

If you buy normal admission tickets then you may wish to consider paying a little more and upgrading to an annual pass so you can come back and visit as many times as you like over the next 12 months!
