With the May half-term just around the corner, you might start to look for family days out. If you are not familiar with The Exchange in Twickenham, it is a wonderful place of performance that should definitely be on your radar. Conveniently located just opposite Twickenham Station, the area is also serviced by many bus routes, making it easy to reach. There are inviting cafes, fun playgrounds, and beautiful parks all within walking distance, making it a perfect location for a full day of family fun.

They have a unique and varied film programme planned. The Danish film ‘Rose’, showing on the 20th of May, certainly caught my eye. Not to mention comedy nights and talented musicians and bands playing throughout the year.

TOP SECRET SCIENCE SHOW

The Exchange has a varied programme with touring shows as well as its own productions. On Wednesday, the 29th of May, the explosive Top Secret will open to the public. Fusing the mystery of magic with wondrous and miraculous feats of science. Hang on to your seats and experience a non-stop, action packed interactive, magical science show with experiments and magic that will capture the imagination of all ages. Top Secret is a fast-moving moving colourful, magical science show filled with mystery, suspense, and lots and lots of mess!

This will be a great family show for primary school children and up. Our boys are very excited to see it and find out if it’s magic or science. If you have children interested in STEM, this should be on your half-term bucket list. You can book tickets online, and they range from £12-£15. It runs for an hour with a 20-minute interval. Please be aware that there will be some sudden loud noises and flashing lights.
