About Edinburgh Science Festival: Blood Bar

Pull up a chair in our Blood Bar and be prepared for things to get gory! Have a go at making your own scabs, mix up a gooey blood clot and even touch a real heart. Explore the science of blood and see how we can diagnose disease with cutting-edge technology. Take a closer look at the heart, lungs and oxygen in our Don't Hold Your Breath activity and find out what really happens when we get cuts and bruises in the Scab Lab.

Please note: This event is part of our family science playground at City Art Centre – an entry pass (available from Wednesday 1 March) is required to take part.
