Do you believe in ghosts? Join Steve McNeil and Mike Cutts for a spooky science adventure at the Faraday Theatre, where science and mystery collide. This theatrical performance blends curiosity, history, and hands-on wonder as the presenters recreate Victorian-era experiments and explore the Royal Institution's fascinating historical encounters with the paranormal.
Using objects from the collection, they investigate how earlier scientists attempted to make sense of strange sights, sounds, and ghostly tales—exploring whether every mystery has a logical explanation, or if some secrets remain unsolved. Packed with surprising demonstrations and curious historical narratives set in a Halloween atmosphere, this show sparks imagination and scientific thinking in equal measure.
Recommended for ages 7–13, though all ages are welcome. Children under 13 must be accompanied by a paying adult; tickets are required for children aged 4 and above. At the Faraday Theatre, The Royal Institution of Great Britain, 21 Albemarle Street, London.
