Sense-O-Matic at Preston Markets

Super science experiments and fascinating historical tales 

Two plucky, young, aspiring scientists mix real science with historical tales about the development of scientific study using their walkabout, much-talked-about, spectacular, scientific discovery machine.

Anne and Lottie invite the curious to take part in their experiments, one for each sense (touch, smell, taste, sound and sight).
This science-meets-Victorian show looks at technology and science being used to understand the world around us.

No need to book. Just turn up and enjoy the entertainment!
