Come along for free, to this year's Children's Lectures. For 7 years old and up, explore the natural world with us from the depths of the ocean to the distant past and from the amazing Antarctic to enormous volcanoes. With talks from scientists from University of Plymouth, City College STEM Centre, Plymouth Marine Laboratory and Plymouth Museums Galleries Archives, this is an event not to miss! Refreshments are provided on arrival from 17:30, and there is the chance to get hands on with some of our exhibits and chat to the scientists before the talks begin.
