Techniquest isn’t just for kids. It’s for big kids, too.
Our ever-popular adults-only event is back this December for a full-on festive edition. Release your inner child and have the most wonderful time with a Christmas-themed live science show, magical science demos and over 100 joyful hands-on exhibits, including our giant piano!
Perfect for an end-of-year catch-up with friends, family or your work besties. There’ll also be festive food and drink, and a welcome drink is included with your ticket.
Get your Christmas jumpers on and join us for a jolly night out.
