Discovery Nights: Party at the Museum! 👗🍄🍕

Join us for the first ever Discovery Nights event! Let’s enjoy the Discovery Museum together after hours, and embrace the vibe of sustainable living in their theme for the evening: The Good Life 💚🌎!

Activities we’ll explore include:

• Taking an expert-led, behind the scenes tour of the museum’s costume stores, and learning about repairing and repurposing clothing 👗

• Learning about foraging 🍄‍🟫

• Hearing storytelling about the rich history of cotton via the museum’s dress collection; try a clothes swap if you dare! 👕

• Creating our own skincare with the help of Goodness Gracious Green 🧴

• Shopping the local makers’ fair for handmade sustainable jewellery and candles 💍🕯️

• Experimenting with mindful crafting using clay and quilled paper 🤲

• Watching demos of solar energy involving interactive experiments with fruit-based solar cells - ‘Berry Cells’ 🍓☀️

Experienced engineer Kevin Urquhart will also be on hand to answer any questions about the museum’s new Steam to Green exhibition, which focuses on the history of energy in the North East, travelling all the way back to the Industrial Revolution and then shifting back to the future with green technologies and renewable sources ♻️

There’ll be pizza to eat, beer from local microbrewery StuBrew to drink (plus other drinks besides), and a DJ on the decks throughout the adventure 🍕🍻🎵

Meet us at The Tipsy Cow opposite the museum between 6pm and 6.30pm to gather together as a group before heading in. We can head back out for drinks and a chat once the museum closes at 9pm, to discuss what we’ve seen and get to know one another better!

Tickets are £8 🎟️ and available to buy here
