The Summer of Science festival includes a range of drop-in events and guided walks exploring local science and natural history. A wide range of talks consider the history of the gas works site, local geology, the science of plants, potions and poisons, the salt industry including a demonstration of salt making in the Town Square, Joseph Priestley's (discoverer of oxygen) electrical genius, brewing and cheese making. A glimpse of the future is provided with a look at vertical farming and sustainability, in part through the proposal to install hydro generators on the River Weaver, so once again harnessing the power of the river. Throughout the Festival, there will be children's activities and trails. Also, fascinating new information will be displayed alongside many of the Museum's objects explaining the science which made them work.
Entry to the Museum and admission to all activities is free for children (a small charge for adults applies to some events). Donations towards the running of the Museum are always welcome.
