The health and safety of our visitors and staff is our number one priority. We have made the difficult decision to fully close the Science Zone UK Centre from Monday 23rd March until further
notice. Our team will be making contact with any groups or individuals who are affected by this closure and we will continue to update our website and social media with further announcements if the
situation changes. If you have any queries, please email
sciencezoneuk@gmail.com
Or Facebook message on our Facebook site for a chat.

As part of the government's recovery plan, some arts and entertainment
venues are to open their doors from 4 July but only if they follow guidance to ensure they are "Covid secure". We unfortunately are classed as an indoor activity centre with a lots of touching and
fossil digging, in the sensory rooms and dinosaur basement and so we cannot open at the centre.
We think it will be not until October at the latest -- as we have
too many touching points and too many basement and indoor areas, after a risk assessment. Therefore we are online and a combination of delivering experiment equipment and having a
live presenter online on Zoom.
Currently we have arrangements for Coronavirus (COVID-19): due to prevention of close contact – please see below. We have however an ongoing online science outreach
with many aspects of Science Zone in place. Our full experiment workshop website is ww.schoolsworkshops.company
Please note we are closed at the centre but online and mobile (see below)
