The Royal Gunpowder Mills are bursting with family-friendly activities exploring science and art with a hands-on approach this summer. A special Test Range lets visitors try out rail rocket cars, air cannons, Nerf Guns and BB Rifle Ranges, while little visitors can ride around on a selection of fun contraptions. Weekdays are themed with highlights including sessions with Professor Nitrate, a scientist on the look over for visitors willing to test out some of his madcap experiments (every Tuesday), and creative activities including t-shirt painting and hat making (every Thursday). Venture outside for den building and sessions exploring how to create natural paints too (every Friday) and to enjoy the 170 acres of parkland which can be explored on a land-train or military vehicle. See the website for a full list of events.
