RRS James Cook will be open to ticket holders at ‘Explore our planet’ – ‘Archwiliwch ein planed’

How does the sand predict climate change? Could you be a space photographer? What’s life like on a Royal Research Ship?

Book your ticket to a free event of family fun during which you can find the answers to these, and many more fascinating questions.

The Natural Environment Research Council, part of UK Research and Innovation, in partnership with the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) and Techniquest, Cardiff are providing a free weekend of family fun from 18–20 October.
