Don’t Do This at Home

Have you ever thought about making a bazooka from a vacuum cleaner or using your toaster as a hot air balloon?

Hopefully not, but if you’d like to see how it could be done, come to Techniquest for our Don’t Do This at Home show.

Find out why you shouldn’t put metal in a microwave and what you should never put in your toilet.

This show is full of thrilling science demonstrations using simple household equipment that you should definitely not try at home.

• Age guidance: 5+

  Our live science show presenters adapt to the audience in front of them, so anyone from 5 to 95 should find plenty to engage with!

  You may not find the live demos as relevant for under-5s, but please check with staff before booking if you’re unsure.

• Tickets

  Please note that every show ticket must be booked in conjunction with a valid admissions ticket. Availability is limited, so the best way to guarantee your space is to book in advance.
