About
Build it and launch it! How did science help to defend a castle? Explore the powerful machines of medieval warfare. Have a go at making and firing your own model trebuchet.
Challenge your friends and family with fun castle games, including a cannon ball chute and mini trebuchets. Who can build the tallest castle wall with boxes and jenga? And who can knock it down the fastest?
Please note: this week’s activities will all be self-led. The role play part has had to be cancelled due to staff sickness. Unfortunately this means the team won’t be able to use the big trebuchet this year.
