Brighten up your winter holidays and play with light, colour and music at the Science and Industry Museum.

Make, create and play over the Christmas school holidays. There are lots of free activities, science shows and challenges for all ages.

Don’t miss ‘The Light Fantastic’, a brand-new science show that takes you on a journey from the sun all the way to Earth. And see science in action in ‘Experiment’, a fun, interactive gallery the whole family can enjoy together.

Head to the ‘Textiles Gallery’ to find out all about the machines, people and stories that made Manchester the first industrial city. Or stay snug in one of the cosy corners dotted around the museum. You can get creative with colour or relax by playing games with friends and family.

The Science and Industry Museum is always top of our list for a super day out.
