Participants will be able to see examples of animal-themed items from the fabulous collection of Armagh Robinson Library, including sets of prints on Aesop’s Fables. Afterwards, in partnership with Wee Critters Interactive Animal Education (https://www.weecritters.org/), watch as the animals come to life during an interactive session with a former zoologist and some of his animals. From the curiously cute to the creepy and crawly, there is something for everyone!

This free event will be delivered via Zoom in collaboration with the Northern Ireland Science Festival, the Royal Society and the British Science Association, as part of British Science Week.

An adult should be present with all participating children.

Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
