25 years of asking what if...


Help us celebrate by sharing your weird and wonderful memories with us - we can’t tell our story without yours! 

To celebrate the curiosity of our city we're going to be working with some local artists to create a very special timeline, a physical one that you can touch and play with.

Did you see something on a school trip that inspired you? Did your child take their first steps here? Maybe you took part in our longest chain of popcorn world record attempt, learned to skate on our ice rink or got married under the stars in the planetarium?

Submit your stories in the form below (or pop in and see us) – send your pictures, tell us about that school trip, relive that special moment – we want to hear them all! 
 

What if anything felt possible?
