Calling All Young Engineers
Budding engineers can take on bridge-building challenges inspired by the film star engine Tornado (27 – 30 July) and the famous inventor Isambard Kingdom Brunel, drop in for Tiny Engine Tuesdays and Train Track Thursdays every week in August, or book a place at our ticketed Build Like Brunel Workshop on 12 and 26 August.
