A MUSEUM near Bromsgrove is holding a hands-on science day later this month.

Hartlebury Castle is giving youngsters the opportunity to experiment with wool, water and soap, to promote National Science Week on Sunday, March 16. It will run from 2 until 5pm.

The county museum is based in Hartlebury, between Bromsgrove and Kidderminster, and visitors are also invited along to view the gallery free of charge.
