Ever wondered why we fall in love or how the science of attraction works? Or thought about whether it’s worth investing in a love potion for the partner of your dreams?
As part of Valentine’s week at Techniquest we’ll be giving you the chance to find out all there is to know about the power of love, when we host our next over-18s night After Hours: Love on the Brain on Thursday 15 February.
With a pay-bar and food station on site, plus a special welcome drink on arrival you’ll find a whole host of activities to enjoy, while exploring our 100+ hands-on exhibits without a child in sight.
You can spend some time under the Moon of love in our Planetarium with some romantic starlight shining above you if you add one of our popular Star Tours to your entry ticket — but make sure you book early to bag your seat for these as we’ve limited capacity and they always sell out in advance — and you wouldn’t want to miss out on seeing Venus while there’s the chance!
If ever there’s been the perfect ‘date night’ at Techniquest, this has to be it!
Not sure what to expect from an After Hours event? Take a look at our Vox Pops from one of last year’s After Hours nights to find out what our guests thought of the experience!
