Take a seat in our Lightning Theatre and be mesmerised by this visually stunning 30-minute live science show.

Be in awe of the science of glow and explore the fascinating processes behind luminosity, including the many ways a glow can be produced. Discover the science of fluorescence, how animals can appear bright at night and the brilliant, coloured effects of using different materials to make light.

In the spectacular finale, witness our giant Tesla coil light up the theatre with lightning using more than 2 million volts of electricity.
