Fish ’N Ships – under 8s
Ahoy there salty sea urchins, join us as we celebrate tall ships, tiny boats and all things fishy and fun in our latest super summer workshop. Discover sea creatures above and below the waves then test your skills by catching a crusty crustacean, a shifty shark or even an eight-legged friend!
Tall Ship Champion of Champions – over 8s
Is your sail in ship shape? To celebrate the Tall Ships Races 2015 come along to design, build and test your very own tall ship. Will it survive the choppy waters of W5? Can you cross the channel to the finish line first and become W5’s 2015 Tall Ships champion?
Rogue Robots: A Lasertag Activity – strictly over 8s
It is 2115 and for many years The Space Council has been sending research robots into deep space on planetary exploration missions. But our scientists now believe that a form of alien intelligence has taken control of our robots. The Space Council has declared that we need to send specially trained RoboSquads to deactivate, recover and reprogramme these rogue robots. Using phasers you will be challenged to deactivate robot targets as you make your way through two target range sets. Have you got what it takes to be a member of RoboSquad and will your squad deactivate the most robots in the time available to be crowned RoboSquad Champions?
