May 2022 - Blackpool
Held at St Thomas' Church on the 28th May 2022 we welcomed more than 225 visitors to our Wonder Day in Blackpool, including the Archbishop of York!
We had four Science Zones (Energy, DNA, Light and Wind) as well as hosting a Planetarium and a science theatre show.
August 2019 - Stalybridge
This was our first event, held on 3rd August 2019. Over 400 people of all ages came to the event, including our local MP. The day featured four Science Zones (Wind, Green, Light and Life), a planetarium and a Lego Mindstorms Robot workshop.
The event received a Commendation award in the 2020 Making a Difference Awards from the University of Manchester.
The success of the day was instrumental in winning a grant from the Scientists in Congregations program to set up Believing Science to drive through the next batch of Wonder Days and associated events during 2022.
