The Roswells - Highly Sprung Performance
What happens when an alien family sets its holiday destination as planet Earth?
The Roswells have made the UK their holiday destination of choice and are here to discover just what a typical British holiday looks like. Premiering their first outing at The Shrewsbury Folk Festival The Roswells were a huge hit with adults and children alike. "The highlight of my festival. Brought so much fun to the event!"
The Roswells have decided that the best place to come to discover more about humans and Planet Earth is Thinktank. The alien family will be spending their day enjoying the festival, taking holiday snaps, playing a very English game of cricket and enjoying a picnic lunch. They would be more than happy if you joined them, perhaps you could help them understand more about life on Earth?
Catch The Roswells around the museum throughout the day.
