After Hours Y2K

Join us for an adults-only evening and get ready to party like its 1999!

Can you believe we’re turning 25 this year?

To kick off celebrations, we’re throwing it back to the late 90s and early noughties in our May After Hours.

Come and explore our two floors of exhibits, all with a drink in hand and no kids running around!

So dig out your best noughties outfit and let's party like it’s 1999 (well 2000).

We’ll be celebrating all things Millennium:

• Enjoy a nostalgic playlist featuring all the biggest tunes from the turn of the century with DJ Remy Melee.
• Hang out with your mates in our recreation of a teenage bedroom from the late 90s in the Theatre of Curiosity.
• Serve yourself up a classic birthday party treat of ice cream in the Kitchen; just keep your eyes peeled for some unusual toppings… 🐛
• Make glow in the dark friendship bracelets and then test them out under the UV lights in our Studio turned 90s rave room.
• Add your favourite song to our mixtape wall in our Tinkering Space.
• Step into our Planetarium for glimpse of the solar system. We’ll be running a short taster experience of our awe-inspiring visuals. Seats will be first come, first served. Please check show times on arrival.
• Channel your inner Jamie Oliver and chat with researchers in the Lab as we explore how our lunch choices could help the planet. 

This event is for 18+ only.
