Mark Thompson’s Spectacular Science Explodes into Leeds

Designed for children of six years and up, the brand new Spectacular Science Show explores the strange and magical properties of matter with exploding elephant’s toothpaste, vortex-generating dustbins, dancing paste, vanishing beakers and even exploding Pringle tubes!

Mark Thompson has been enthralling audiences for over many years with his fascinating journeys around the universe. Now he is turning his infectious enthusiasm to things a little closer to home with this brand new show to be enjoyed by children and grown-ups alike.

“I've still got that boyish enthusiasm for the world of nature,” said Mark. “And that takes you down all the different routes of science: physics, chemistry, biology, geology – it's all fascinating.”

With twenty years of experience in observational astronomy, Mark has an expert and entertaining ability to bring complex scientific concepts to everyone along with a desire to engage people of all ages with the wonders of science. As co-presenter on RTS Award nominated show Stargazing LIVE, a regular face on The One Show and the Alan Titchmarsh Show along with regular contributions for Discovery News’ website he brings the image of scientific study into the 21st Century with a bang
