SUMMARY
Can you picture the perfect Christmas scene without a candle or two? We thought not!

Join our Innovator in Residence, David Ricketts, as he delves into the fascinating chemistry of the humble candle.

Inspired by one of the most iconic lectures given at the Royal Institution by Michael Faraday, David will attempt to recreate some of the experiments based on Faraday’s own handwritten notes.

This event will be filled to the brim with live, interactive demonstrations from 200 years of Ri history, as well as more modern takes on them. David will leave you surprised, inspired, and wanting more!

The livestream will go live at 5.55pm, and the introduction will begin at 6.00pm. If you register but miss the livestream, the video will be available to you via the same link for two weeks after the event date.
