Britain's What's On Event Guide
Drop-in Activity: How you were made
Come and learn how you were made when a sperm from your father got together with an egg from your mother. Find out how the new, barely visible you first sought out the protection of your mother’s womb. Discover how, with her nourishment, you grew bigger and performed some spectacular contortions, turning you into a little person ready to be born.
