The 1st Thrussington Brownies joined hundreds of other Girlguiding members from across the Midlands for the fun-filled visit.

During the trip, the girls enjoyed a spectacular science show with larger than life demonstrations, journeyed through the night sky in the museum’s digital planetarium and developed their practical science skills in a hands-on workshop.
