ZANY activities will be on offer for The Hive's popular Science Night next month.

The hands-on event gives families the opportunity to meet the experts and learn about science in a fun and interactive way.

This year, the Mad Science team are running three workshops on the evening of Thursday, March 16 to reveal the science behind how planes can fly.

Janine Downes, library manager at The Hive, said: “Science is such a captivating topic covering everything from fossils to rockets; it is easy to understand why our previous Science Night gripped everyone's attention and was such a success.

“The Mad Science team certainly capture people’s imaginations and create an innovative way of learning.

"This event is fantastic at bringing science to life and making it fun.”

The ‘Up, Up and Away’ workshops are at 4.30pm, 5.15pm and 6pm and cost £3.50 for adults and £3 for children.

This fascinating evening coincides with Worcester’s first ever Micro Science Festival as part of British Science Week, which runs from Friday, March 10 to Sunday, March 19.
