About
Blast off into a world of scientific discovery with two exciting days of space-themed fun at Castleford Market!
On Friday afternoon, Lab Rascals will be on hand to lead free, hands-on 30-minute science workshops designed for children aged 5 and over, exploring CO₂, climate change and the environment. These interactive sessions make learning both exciting and accessible – and everyone is welcome!
The fun continues all day Saturday, with more engaging workshops from Lab Rascals alongside a stellar line-up of cosmic activities. Step inside the giant inflatable Space Dome for an immersive journey through the solar system, and use augmented reality tablets to explore the stars and planets like never before.
Plus, don’t miss Jedi Training with Phoenix Squad in the foyer on Saturday – ideal for young Padawans ready to learn the ways of the Force!
A brilliant day out for budding astronauts, curious minds, and families looking for something truly out of this world.
