The centre is also offer a string of workshops to create slime, spiders and worms or even spooky stop motion animation with Jam Coding. There’s also plenty happening for the youngest members of the family with woodland themed story time sessions where little ones can sit on toadstools while one of Eureka’s Enablers reads a beastly tale, plus Bothersome Beasts pebble painting (activities vary daily).
