Andrew Pearson, a member of the booking team at Xplore, said: "We hope the events will allow people to feel part of the community and learn something in the process."

Xplore! is the premier Science Discovery Centre in North Wales and offers over 65 interactive science exhibits in addition to live science shows delivered to the public at weekends and during local school holidays.

The centre also runs curriculum based science workshops from key stage one to five.

These are delivered either at the centre or by outreach visits across the whole of North Wales and into North West England, including Cheshire East and West, Warrington, Wirral, Liverpool and Shropshire.
