Magna is officially “Cool”

Magna Science Adventure Centre in Rotherham, South Yorkshire was recently short-listed for Prestige Event Magazines "Cool Awards". Magna was nominated in the category "Coolest Museum and Gallery" along with 11 other venues, and was one of the only two venues outside London.

The £46m Millennium Commission Lottery project is based within the former Templeborough steelworks building in Rotherham and was opened in 2001. Magna is a science adventure centre with futuristic technology, visionary architecture and breathtaking interactive games and challenges.  In addition to this, as a testament to the local steel industry, a number of the original features, including hulking hooks and cranes and winding passages have been left untouched, giving the building a greater sense of atmosphere. Magna also boasts an outdoor play area and hi-tek adventure playground onsite.

Operations Director Helen Smith commented, "We are delighted to have been nominated in the Prestige Magazine Cool Awards. As we are one of the few venues outside of London to be nominated this is an excellent way to raise our profile nationally"   

Magna also offers a host of inspiring and exciting spaces to cater for any type of event.

In terms of flexibility, scale and ambition Magna cannot be matched.
