WARNING! Warning! This is a public safety announcement. The Ministry Of Science Live is coming to York on Monday as part of a 60-date tour.

This is not an ordinary science show. Instead it has science and history, a fully operational hovercraft, massive cannons, a push bike that makes the best smoothie ever and...Darth Vader playing with plasma.

Investigating the inventors and engineers who have shaped the modern world where we live, the show explores everything from liquid nitrogen flowers to hydrogen bottle rockets, energy to engineering, astronaut Buzz Aldrin to cat food tins, methane to the invention of the battery.

Produced and created by Mark Thompson, the writer and director of Brainiac Live, the show’s primary aim is to inspire and educate young people through the medium of live theatre.

Tickets for the 11am and 6.30pm shows are on sale from £15.50 on 0844 871 3024 or at atgtickets.com/york.

Win tickets

Courtesy of the Grand Opera House, York, The Press has two sets of family tickets (two adults, two children) to be won for Monday's 6.30pm performance of The Ministry Of Science Live.
