Wild About Plymouth - Discover the Laboratory on the Hoe

Natural history group Wild About Plymouth will be busy exploring the Citadel Hill Laboratory from 10am to 12pm on Saturday 21 September.

The ‘Discover the Laboratory on the Hoe’ event is being held to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Citadel Hill lab as well as the work of the Marine Biological Association (MBA) and the Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science (SAHFOS) and the Ocean City Festival.

Experts from the MBA and SAHFOS will give family-friendly talks and there will be a chance to view objects relating to marine science and learn something new about one of the world’s oldest functioning marine laboratories.

Admission is just £2 per adult and £1 per child (three to 16 years). Under-threes go free. Places are limited and must be booked in advance through Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery’s Welcome Desk.
