Rude Science Live!
Sat 24 Oct 2026 11:30am 3:00pm
Brace yourselves for BBC Gastronaut Stefan Gates’ revolutionary, high-tech, highly-explosive new show, packed with outrageous science stunts.
On the surface it’s a riot of disgusting experiments built to delight young audiences, but under the bonnet, it’s a brilliantly-constructed curriculum-driven adventure designed to inspire Britain’s kids with a lasting fascination for science.
Expect enormous bottoms, f*rt machines, snot cocktails, vast whoopee cushions, pee-powered fireworks and ear-wax-oozing mannequins.
Stef is the high-octane presenter of 20 TV series (five for CBBC) and award-winning author of 12 books (including Rude Science). He’s internationally renowned for his world-class science stage shows.
Each performance is followed by a Meet & Greet.
This show is not suitable for those with latex allergies. It also contains loud bangs, audience participation and stage fog.
Recommended Age: 6+. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
Younger children are welcome but there's a lot of noisy, smelly sensory stimulation- we recommend parents to be the best judges!
1 hour 50 minutes (including interval)
