Brain Detectives at Calverton Library

Something mysterious is happening… and we need young detectives to solve it!

Children become detectives and follow a trail of clues using four key senses. By looking closely, listening carefully, touching different textures, and smelling intriguing scents, they will uncover hidden hints and work together to crack a fun and friendly mystery.

This hands-on, interactive workshop led by University of Nottingham Neuroscience Students encourages curiosity, careful observation, teamwork, and problem-solving in an engaging and playful way. Perfect for children who love exploring, investigating, and using their senses to make discoveries.

There are three sessions on Wednesday 18 Feburary at Calverton Library: 11am, 12.30pm and 2pm.

This event is suitable for families with children aged 7+. When booking your tickets, please include all adults and children attending.
