Public Open day - It’s our Birthday

Public Events

We will be one year old! You only turn one once, so we will be celebrating in style! Join us for some compulsory 99' ice cream and watch the magic unfold when making ice cream with liquid nitrogen. We will have some traditional party games but be prepared to be surprised they will all be material inspired!
From the science of making and then throwing that perfect paper aeroplane, to suspending helium balloons in mid air.
Finally there always has to be a party gift to take home, the first 400 people you will receive a surprise material inspired party gift, who knows what you will receive!

H-app-y Birthday
We will be launching a very special present for all you material lovers, our Materials Library app (which will be available to download via iTunes). For our birthday celebrations we will have an iPad on hand to help guide you through the library to explore the wondrous materials we have. Search for the best wax to make the perfect Birthday candle, one that doesn't drip on your birthday cake, smells to strong, can be coloured easily and has a good flame which can be blown out!

Its free.
No need to book, just drop in from 1pm.
Door close at 5pm and space is limited.
