Discovery zone

Learn about Mint & Mustard in the Discovery Zone – Operated by the Food & Farming Discovery Trust who will be educating visitors about Norfolk’s connection to Mint & Mustard, two crops at the heart of Norfolk’s agricultural story.

Grown by farmers working together in co-operative groups, they are a powerful example of collaboration in action. Explore how mint and mustard are sown, grown and harvested, then follow their journey from field to food. Discover how these bold, flavour-filled crops have shaped Norfolk’s cultural identity and how today’s farmers continue to innovate, adapt and work together to meet modern challenges.

STEMM Village

Uncover Hidden Worlds: From Microbes to Megawatts with a new interactive and immersive ‘Microbe Zoo’.

The Microbe Zoo recently displayed at the Norwich Science Festival, consists of large-scale models through which festival goers will be taken on a guided tour by scientists working at Norwich Research Park, where they will learn all about the role that microbes play in our world by visiting some of the habitats they live in. There will also be interactive games to play, soundscapes and videos to watch. Through interactive exhibits and inspiring demonstrations, see how STEMM connects food, farming, health, energy and innovation.
