How did science help to defend a castle?
Discover the medieval engineering that powered trebuchets.
Have a go at making and firing your own mini model.
The team will also be using science to make things go bang!
As well as drop-in activities running all day, there will be interactive roleplay at 11:15am, 1:15pm and 2:15pm
