A Periodic Tale with Dr Karl

Are you ready for a whirlwind ride through different science topics?

Join Dr Karl to discover why all the gods of metal-working (including Thor-yes, Marvel lied to you!) walked with a limp, how the longest piloted continuous plane flight went for over a month WITHOUT air-to-air refuelling, how to survive without eating for over a year, how large chunks of the Moon ended up a few thousand kilometres under our feet, how earworms work – and much more!

One thing’s for sure, you’ll come away with some amazing science facts.

This event is particularly suitable for ages 7+. As with all our family theatre talks, this event is designed to be enjoyed by adults and children together. All young people under the age of 13 need to be accompanied by a paying adult and those aged 4 and above need a ticket to attend.
