Join local satellite company OrbAstro’s team in Streatley Meadows and launch a water rocket!
Water rockets are easily capable of 100 m high flights, but advanced hobbyists have combined bottles and staged bottles for flights over 300m high! Come and countdown a rocket launch and see how high you can launch one towards space. 5…4…3…2…1…blast off!
FREE. No ticket required.
Sessions:
11.30am-12.30pm
1.30pm-2.30pm
Please note these timings have been updated since the printing of the Festival brochure.
Important event information:
All children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
Filming and photography will likely take place at this event. This will be used to showcase the 2024 GAP Festival both online and in printed articles. Images and footage will also be used to help future festival promotions. Please let the event marshals on the day know if you do not wish to be captured.
