The Medicine Show! – Heritage Open Days

Admission to Catalyst will be free on 10^th, 11^th, 17^th and 18^th September as part of the national Heritage Open Days events.

This light-hearted family show will look at old medicine – ancient remedies and old wives’ tales, cures that people have passed down through the ages and whether there is any science behind them!

The show runs twice daily at 12:30pm – 1:15pm and 3:00pm – 3:45pm.
Tickets for the shows cost £1.95 per person and can be booked via the website.
