Science Museum Live, inspired by the major London museum, comes to the Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury, this Easter

Thinking about taking the kids on a museum trip over the Easter holidays but worried about waiting in long lines and getting caught in the gift shop on the way out?

You’re in luck – the Science Museum, one of London's biggest tourist attractions, is coming to Kent during the half-term.

Science Museum Live is a new stage show that brings together jaw-dropping experiments and fascinating facts from across a broad range of topics.

The show, which comes to Canterbury this month, features live demonstrations that cover everything from sound, weight and mass to combustion and friction, all with an interactive twist.

There will be colourful chemistry demos, complex equipment and knowledgeable scientists who will talk audiences through everything that’s happening on stage.

It’s produced by Mark Thompson Productions and is aimed at families with children aged five and over.

The Science Museum, located in South Kensington, is a free attraction that first opened to the public in the 1850s.

The building is now home to large interactive galleries, several exhibition halls, temporary displays and an IMAX theatre.

Science Museum Live will be at the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury on Easter Monday. You can book tickets here.
