NI Science Festival 2026 – Look Closer: Screenings & Mini Lab Workshops

Category: Skills & Training

Date: 21st February 2026

Time: 10:30am, 12:00pm & 2:00pm

Location: New Gate Arts Theatre, 2-4 Kennedy St, Derry~Londonderry BT48 6RF

Calling all little explorers! Join us for an exciting adventure as we Look Closer and Discover Nature! Watch five episodes of BBC/CBeebies Tiny Wonders on the BIG screen, and then dive into hands-on exploration in our Mini Lab Zones. Led by scientists from Ulster University, kids will get to use real microscopes and take a closer look at fascinating little curiosities from nature.

Just like the Nogglins, your child will have the chance to ‘Look Closer’ at nature’s wonders and embark on a fun-filled journey of discovery! If your child has a tiny object they’d love to see under a microscope, bring it along for an up-close examination!

Note: Parental supervision is required for all Mini Lab Workshop participation. Film screening will last approximately 20 minutes, followed by a 25-minute Mini Lab session.
