10-11.30am Wednesday 29th October
St Anne's Art & Community Centre, Barnstaple Town Centre
£16/child

At the SPOOKY SCIENCE LAB workshop, young scientists will:
 Make light-up spooky pictures with paper circuits — creepy art that really glows!
 Create colour-changing bracelets — wearable science with a magical twist.
 Mix up Halloween bath bombs – with a horrid surprise hidden inside.
 Design gravity-defying monsters — a creepy art project.

This hands-on workshop blends the excitement of Halloween with the wonder of science, giving children the chance to explore circuits, chemistry, colour-change reactions and a bit of physics — all through play.
