Events at Daresbury Laboratory

Hands on science - prior booking is essential

Come and find out what goes on at one of Europe's largest multi disciplinary research organisations.

Daresbury Laboratory is hosting two hands on science afternoons.

Every person, planet, star and galaxy is part of the Universe - and even every empty space! The Universe is the biggest thing we have a name for. People once thought that Earth was at the centre of the Universe. Now we know Earth is one of the many planets moving through space - come and discover our solar system in the star lab.
