Unlock the hidden colours of nature in this hands-on science and art adventure!
Young learners will explore the gardens and wild spaces of the estate to uncover the natural pigments hidden in plants. Using materials they collect outdoors, they’ll create their own vibrant dyes and paints — then put them to the test in a surprising scientific twist. With the help of a little lemon juice magic, they’ll reveal secret messages and experiment with pH reactions that make colours appear and change before their eyes. Blending creative craft with real chemistry, this workshop offers a fun, curiosity-sparking experience that shows just how colourful science can be.
