Explosive Easter 31 March - 15 April

We are also open every day during the school Easter holidays. Our focus during this holiday will be on explosions of all kinds, with children’s activities, and a spectacular arena event over the bank holiday (Sunday and Monday) revealing some of the secrets of movie pyrotechnics, and more importantly blowing lots of stuff up. On Good Friday there is also a special Easter event for younger children with trails, hunts and activities. Read more...
