BOLTON Abbey will play host to some unusual guests over the half-term holiday.

The eccentric professors from Gobbledigook Theatre's Sort of Science Show will be setting up their magical classroom marquee by the riverside.

They will be offering interactive games, rhymes and challenges from Saturday until next Sunday between 10am and 3pm.

There will also be fun-packed 30-minute shows at 11.30am and 2.30pm every day featuring music, mayhem and science madness.

The event is suitable for children up to 13 and is included in the usual estate admission price of £8 per car.
