EDITOR’S Choice MARCH
March - April 17 The Historic Dockyard Chatham The Historic Dockyard’s brilliant but slightly eccentric resident professor, is pushing the boundaries of scientific exploration and visiting both the North and South Poles via the shortest route possible — through the centre of the earth.
His trusty assistant Bunsen is trying to find ways to keep the Doc safe from the extremes of the subzero cold and needs the dockyard’s growing army of Techsplorers to “chill out” in the Secret Lab and help with some cool new research. Become a Techsplorer – or a “Sub-Zero Hero” and assist in hands-on family-friendly experiments. Doc Yard’s Secret Lab runs
throughout the Easter holidays, from 10.30am until 3pm, until April 17.
March 25-28
