Hands on History: Soaring Spitfires (7yrs+)

Event Information

Hands On History sessions are just that – chances to discover amazing history in a fun, interactive way! You’ll discover stories, investigate artefacts and find out amazing facts. You pay for the young people and join them for the ride! Adults do not have to pay for this activity.

2026 is the 90th anniversary of the iconic Supermarine Spitfire’s maiden flight. To celebrate this, take to the skies and join us for this fun-filled session exploring the story of the most famous WW2 fighter plane of them all! You’ll be creating your very own water-powered rocket plane using our junk modelling kit. Please bring a 1.5 or 2 litre drinks bottle and we’ll provide the rest! Be warned, you may get wet!
