Celebrate brilliant brains, bogies and bodies with a summer of sense-sational science at the Science and Industry Museum.

Inspired by the new exhibition Operation Ouch! Brains, Bogies and You, this fun-filled programme includes live science shows, mind-bending illusions, and hands-on activities for all ages.

Families can get messy at the Bogie Lab, dance it out at a silent disco, and uncover the wonders of the human body in playful, surprising ways. There’ll be pop-up events across the summer, including a visit from Operation Ouch! presenter Dr Xand, and special activities for Manchester Pride.

Plus, enjoy family favourites in the free galleries, from Experiment to Revolution Manchester and the roaring sounds of historic machinery in the Textiles Gallery.
