Step into the Iron Age with Scientific Sue and embark on an exhilarating journey through science, history, and legend with Chemistry & the Celts. This dynamic, hands-on show, lasting 60 minutes, will transport audiences to a time when druids, warriors, and ancient chemists shaped the world around them using the power of nature and alchemy. Scientific Sue will lead the audience through a series of spectacular experiments, unveiling the secrets of Celtic ingenuity:

Forging the Warrior’s Weapons – Witness the dramatic extraction of iron from ore and discover how the Celts transformed raw metal into essential tools & weapons!

Preparing for Battle – Meet Aidan, our fierce Celtic warrior, as we paint his face using authentic designs inspired by ancient coins. Warriors didn’t just fight in drab tunics (well sometimes they didn’t wear anything!) – they stood out in battle! Volunteers will help dye cloth using natural pigments, ensuring Aidan is a truly colourful warrior.

Healing the Wounded – The battle is won, but Aidan returns with injuries. Using plants, honey, and the power of (slightly smelly!) ancient medicine, we’ll explore how the Celts treated wounds, administered pain relief and kept their warriors fighting fit.

The Celtic Spa Experience – War is dirty work! Female warriors were just as fierce as their male counterparts, but after battle, as well as washing a little pampering is in order. Using chemistry and a touch of magic, we’ll create colour-changing bath bombs fit for a Celtic Spa!

Chemistry & the Celts is an unmissable blend of history, science, and storytelling, packed with fiery explosions, daring experiments, and plenty of audience participation. Whether you’re a fearless warrior or a budding druid, you’ll leave inspired, entertained, and maybe just a little bit wiser!
