Theatre shows
Our science shows in the Ri's famous lecture theatre, give students unique access to enjoy cutting edge science in a world-class heritage venue, where many of the discoveries that have shaped the modern world were actually made.
The majority of our events are hour-long shows, and the programme as a whole caters to children aged 7–19, with events categorised by key stage. We include events about biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics and engineering in the programme. The lively and engaging presentation style brings the sometimes intellectually challenging topics that we cover to life. They give young people the chance to experience practical and engaging experiments that are not always possible within the constraints of the classroom.
Our programme is primarily aimed at school audiences, and as such is optimised for them in terms of content and style, but many home educators benefit from attending. Age guidelines are given in the individual event listings.
Please see the What's On calendar for details of upcoming shows.
