Join our friends from Minilab for two days of art, science, technology and play this October half term.
Minilab's mission is to make fun and learning one and the same. They make safe and playful digital experiences that stimulate children's curiosity and creativity.
On Friday 27 & Saturday 28 October, book a session and take part in all sorts of creative and educational activities:
- Soar through the solar system with the Professor Astro Cat apps.
- Explore your creativity with the Artie apps and learn about animals.
- Play, read, listen, and learn about STEAM subjects.
- Get hands-on with animation, arts and crafting workshops.
Join Professor Astro Cat on a fact-filled mission to learn all about our solar system!

Supportive Environment Session
Friday 27 October, 1.00PM - 2.45PM
Broadway's Supportive Environment Screenings are for children on the autism spectrum and their families, friends and carers.
While we are aiming for all Minilab Takeover sessions to be accessible and inclusive, we are offering a supportive environment session for children with special educational needs and disabilities on Friday 27 October from 1.00PM - 2.45PM.
In this session, the volume of digital content will be lowered, we'll be offering less tickets to lower the number of people in the event spaces, and we'll have quiet spaces available for if breaks from activities are needed. If you have any questions about the event or want more information about supportive environment screenings at Broadway, please get in touch at nearnow@broadway.org.uk.
There’s a monster on the loose and it’s destroying everything in its way! Save the day and help Artie to rebuild his world, using a very special magic pencil.
Back in February 2017, Minilab took part in our first Explorers Fair event. We loved their work — making beautiful digital content for children — so much, that we've invited them to hang out here at Broadway for two days of fun and creativity.
Minilab have created a suite of products that engage children with everything from the natural world, to literature, design and art, astrophysics, engineering and maths. All of this delivered with graphics created by award-winning illustrators, expert sound and game design and the invaluable expertise and consultation of educational specialists, academics and most importantly children.
