Science sounds amazing in the Science Theatre this spring!

We’re tuning up the demos and warming up our scientific musical instruments. Can fire really dance? Let’s find out in The Sound Show.

The Sound Show is an action-packed family-friendly 20-minute live show that takes an in-depth look into the science of sound through exciting experiments and daring demos. Don’t miss out - it’s free with general admission.

Is there any science involved in the sounds we hear? Join the science Inspirers as they find out. Discover what a Rijke Tube is and how it demonstrates some of the scientific properties of sound. And be wowed by the hugely popular Ruben’s Tube, back to dazzle the crowds with its mesmerising dancing fire.

Accessibility information for The Sound Show

The Science Theatre is accessible so everyone can enjoy all the fun. Sometimes there will be loud noises, but we'll tell you about them before the show starts. If you want to wear ear defenders, you can borrow them from us before the show starts. If you feel nervous in a show, you can stay near the back and leave quickly if you need to.

Sensitive to loud noises? There's a not-so-noisy show just for you at 3.30pm.
