W5 Late – Get Animated!

W5 Late is a strictly adults-only, after-hours evening of interactive fun at Northern Ireland’s award-winning science and discovery centre. At W5, fun has no age limit but for one night only in February 2025, there are no kids allowed, and grown-ups are given the run of the place!

This 14 February, W5 has your plans sorted with an adults-only evening at W5 Late - Get Animated.

A special after-hours event filled with interactive exhibits, unique activities, and unforgettable fun. With no kids in sight, you can explore eight immersive zones with over 250 hands-on exhibits alongside exciting experiences.

Embark on an exciting adventure with Wallace & Gromit in the NEW ‘All Systems Go’ AR trail from Aardman. Using the free app, help Wallace & Gromit prepare their rocket for launch, try on Wallace’s Techno Trousers, and snap selfies with the beloved duo. Or get creative and grab a £3.50 model-making kit from the W5 Gift Shop and head to the Wallace & Gromit Claystation, where you can create your very own Gromit.

Experience the thrill of the Multiverse Mayhem live science shows, where two dimension-hopping scientists perform mind-bending experiments as they explore the multiverse. This high-energy show features explosive demonstrations, exciting chemical reactions, and plenty of surprises in just 30 minutes of experimental chaos.

Dance the night away as our live DJ provides a fantastic soundtrack of crowd-pleasing tunes throughout the evening. For those seeking a bit of competition, gather your friends, colleagues, or a date and enjoy classic board games or test your knowledge in the fast-paced Speed Quizzing sessions.

Of course, no visit to W5 Late is complete without tackling the heights of Climbit, the enormous multi-storey climbing structure, or, for those who prefer their feet on the ground, stopping by the face-painting station.

Relax and unwind at the fully licensed bar, where you can sip on a glass of wine or enjoy a cold beer as you enjoy the exciting atmosphere. With so much happening, there’s even more to discover throughout the evening.

Remember, this event is strictly adults-only, no kids allowed.
