A festive celebration of chemistry comes alive with interactive demonstrations and hands-on experiments. Chemist and science communicator Josh Smalley guides audiences through the science hiding behind beloved Christmas traditions — from the chemistry of glow sticks to the sparkle of silver-mirror baubles and the ignition of Christmas pudding.
Throughout the show, each festive element is hung on a 'chemis-tree', revealing the chemistry beneath holiday customs. Discover why tinsel evolved the way it did, explore the warm spices of Christmas dinner, and uncover the reactions behind the season's most magical moments.
Designed for families with children aged 7–13, though all ages can enjoy the experience. Young people under 13 must be accompanied by a paying adult, and children aged 4 and above need a ticket.
