Funlab Trafford Centre Takeover
Thank you to everyone who joined us for FunLab at the Trafford Centre on 7–8 March 2026.
Visitors got hands‑on with science by exploring robots and mini‑bots, handling fossils, trying eco‑design challenges, creating art with light and even testing their piloting skills in a flight simulator. Families also enjoyed games, sensory physics play and hunting for ‘neutrinos’ around the centre.
