This weekend, Saturday, 13th and Sunday, 14th of June, Phoenix Squad are landing at Eureka! The National Children's Museum for their STAR WARS weekend!

At present Lord Vader is trying to keep his Stormtroopers in check as they can't contain their excitement. He isn't sure whether it is the Imagination space, SoundSpace or one of the other many amazing fully interactive areas.

On Saturday we will have Jedi Training, Shoot the Trooper and other fun things to do, including photos with our characters.

Then on Sunday, who will win, the light side or the dark side, when we bring you both Jedi and Sith Training, Shoot the Trooper and photos galore.

We will be supporting our chosen charity Forget Me Not Children's Hospice

Also, standard admission to Eureka! includes an annual pass, so pay just once and visit as many times as you'd like for a whole year!
