A SCIENCE show that packs a punch will blast onto stage at a North-East theatre next month.

Ministry of Science Live will be at Darlington Civic Theatre on Saturday, June 6.

Billed as 'not your ordinary science show', organisers are promising fun, laughter and plenty of amazing science and history, including a fully-operational hovercraft, massive cannons with lots of bangs, a push bike that makes smoothies.

Audience members should expect loud explosions,

Ministry of Science Live was launched at Northern Ireland’s CultureTech festival in 2014 where it played to critical acclaim to over 7,500 people in a week. Since then the show has been to the United Arab Emirates before arriving back in the UK for 60-date national theatre tour.

Tickets are £14.50 for adults and £12.50 for children.
