Preston Markets are hosting a range of free family events on Saturdays throughout August.
A series of events will take place beneath the iconic Victorian canopy, for the whole family to enjoy.
There will be scientific exploration of the senses, a fantastic bubble show, plus a chance to dance and see the world from a different perspective and pick up free gifts being handed out by some interesting characters.
Saturday 3 August: Scientific Exploration
Two plucky, young, aspiring scientists mix real science with historical tales about the development of scientific study using their walkabout, much-talked-about, spectacular, scientific discovery machine.
Anne and Lottie invite the curious to take part in their experiments, one for each sense – touch, smell, taste, sound and sight. This science-meets-Victoriana show looks at technology and science being used to understand the world around us.
Saturday 10 August: A Few Feet Up
See the world from a different viewpoint. Presenting the theory that a slight physical change of perspective can encourage a conceptual one.
A Few Feet Up asks you to collaborate with two performers and their giant periscope, to view the world from a different angle.
