BM: A very broad question is, how would you describe Techniquest?

HF: Oh it's well, it's a hands on science discovery centre, to be precise. But, not a lot of people necessarily really understand that. Just about everybody now is within an hour's drive of a science centre so you can just about - you know - I've got a fairly good understanding of where all the science centres are in the UK so if someone doesn't know what I mean I can say "oh well it's like Explore At Bristol" or "It's like - you know (Magna)" or "It's like Our Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh," or, you know so I can kind of pull that out so.

If I was describing it - it's bright and airy - lots of - exhibits. It's not themed it's just, you know, the - the content is quite random, randomly distributed. It's got the science theatre it's got the planetarium, discovery thing. So, there's always, there should always be something new, every time you come to visit there should be something new at Techniquest.
