Apollo Legacy: How Engineers Landed People on the Moon

Jez Turner 

Djanogly Theatre, Lakeside Arts | Sunday 23 July, 1pm

Suitable for ages 7-11 | £3 (free concessions and under 16s) 

“One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind”  

An estimated 530 million people watched the Apollo 11 spacecraft land on the Moon in July 1969, so it was a big deal! But how did engineers make this epic, achievement happen and what are the next giant steps in Space Engineering? 

This lively, family event will explore the story of the lunar landing with plenty of fun, interactive demonstrations and activities – with a few surprises along the way! This public lecture is designed to be enjoyed by adults and children together.

Families are welcome to enjoy an array of fun, space themed activities before and after the performance from 12noon onwards. Feel free to come in space themed costume.
