You can see our spectacular Tesla Coil in action. A demonstration of the Tesla coil is available at approximately 11.00 a.m. on  every day that the centre is open.

In this Education Workshop we test the Sun’s power with a solar furnace; team up for a reflections challenge; use lenses, prisms, colour mixers and light boxes to investigate the behaviour of light. Plus, there’s the Camera Obscura, optical illusions, funky distorting mirrors and more. This is a hands-on curriculum-focussed programme with workshops tailored to different year groups.
