About

Calling all young scientists and fashion designers!


Would you wear a shirt made out of feathers or a hat made out of clay?


Join the Wakefield Museums & Castles team in the test lab to experiment on materials in all sorts of weird and wonderful ways.


Use what you learn to design a super suit.


The workshop will take place in the ‘Learning Zone’ which is located within the main Wakefield Library space on the Upper Ground Floor of the Wakefield One building. 


*3pm is a relaxed SEND session. SEND groups are always welcome at all sessions.

Wakefield Museums & Castles are also running these SEND sessions for visitors who benefit from a more relaxed atmosphere, with reduced numbers of attendees.
