You’ve seen crime drama on the TV – whether that’s CSI Miami, Waking the Dead, Silent Witness or even Rosemary and Thyme – however find out more about the real story of forensics, with the science of blood splatters, how criminals were identified in the 19th century and ballistics of modern firearms.

Your Lates' favourites also make a welcome return. Dance the night away in the hugely-popular silent disco - held every month in the Flight Gallery - take part in the adult playtime that is Launchpad and be a detective in our pub quiz.

We’ve also got another extra-special event this month; you can learn about the science behind DNA profiling with Dr Tim Clayton, an expert from the National Forensic Service - two audience members will have their DNA profiled!
