Do you have a favourite fairytale? Have you ever read it and thought, could that actually happen? Just think for a minute. Could you really dance in a pair of shoes made of glass? What happens to gingerbread houses in the pouring rain? Are big ears really better for hearing with?

Join Catherine Cawthorne as she discusses the Big Bad Wolf's* investigations into the science behind lots of fantastical fairytales. This event will combine your love of stories, science and of course the odd demonstration or two.
