Grand Arcade

Take a break from shopping to take a look at our art exhibition showcasing how beautiful a different view of the world can be! Enjoy the art before discovering why whipworms have their name and how mini-guts are being used to help reduce the impact of the parasite in tropical countries around the world. Have a go at spotting the difference between boy and girl worms and talk to people who spend every day in this worm’s company.

It’s not just mini-guts that are used in healthcare research though, we’ve also got mini-brains on display. Find out how you can grow a brain from skin and how this miniaturised model is helping to develop treatments for conditions such as Alzheimer’s. Alongside all that, CRUK will also be bringing their Grand Challenge to the Grand Arcade adding to the great line up of stalls.

Cost: Free
