- Saturday 19th 10am – 4pm the ever popular Science Fair
- Saturday 19th, 7.30pm – Yorkshire’s own Paul Hudson talking about Yorkshire’s weather, climate change and his life on TV.
In addition, running over Tuesday to Thursday evening between 6pm and 7pm we will have a guided book reading by Greg Radick. The book is Charles Darwin’s ‘The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals’.
As well as these public events there will be events for schools (KS1 and KS2) running Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday daytimes. Home schoolers are welcome to join these.
Full details of the shows, prices and booking information will be added to the web site shortly.

Apologies for the typo in our speaker’s name. You are correct, it is Kersten Hall, the person that you identified. I have corrected the mistake in the post.
