Join our friendly scientists to find out how you can see yourself an infinite number of times, and dance with Pepper's ghost to learn about how our research relies on reflection.

We'd like to show you around our infinity mirror and our giant Pepper's ghost! We'll explain how light reflects to make these amazing experiments work! If you enjoy them, you will even have the opportunity to make your own mobile phone Pepper's ghost and build a kaleidoscope while learning about fibre optics!
