AN out of this world experience is set to grace Dorchester.

A free, interactive, extra-terrestrial experience for all the family will take place on Saturday, March 18 to celebrate Dorchester Science Festival, which takes place from March 10-19. 

The experience will be hosted at Brewery Square. 

'The Discovery Lab' will include a part participatory science workshop and part-improvised theatre performance by not-for-profit theatre and community arts company Brave Bold Drama. 

The story follows a pair of travelling aliens on an Earth exploration mission.

Throughout the performance, families will be able to take part in a range of quirky science experiments with young ‘Earth experts’ encouraged to share their knowledge and help create a unique experience.

Tara Bailey, centre manager at Brewery Square, said: “We're proud to support Dorchester Science Festival for the second year running with a captivating workshop and performance from Brave Bold Drama.

"It's fantastic to work with our community to celebrate science in all its glory, educating children and adults alike through engaging activities. Last year's event went down a storm and we can't wait to see the buzz that this year’s events bring to our town."

The performance at Brewery Square is suitable for those aged six and over. 

Advance ticket bookings are advised to avoid dissapointment.
