Sonic Spider: music from an arachnid’s world
New Road Baptist Church, Bonn Square, OX1 1LQ
Listen to the world’s first eight-legged musical instrument, played by a team of musicians, and delve into a spider’s mind. Sonic Spider performances take inspiration from the lives of spiders, sitting quietly in their webs awaiting the drama of visitors – a tasty fly perhaps, or a nervous suitor.
Explore the science of spider senses, meet Jasper the Spider with story-teller Jules Pottle, discover how other invertebrates see, feel, hear and taste their worlds, and try hands-on activities from the Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour. Let your imagination travel to a different world.
Your ticket allows you to arrive any time between 2pm and 5pm.
Includes activities suitable for all ages.
