Have a microscopically merry Christmas this year at the Museum of Natural History's Party in a Petri Dish, part of the museum's Bacterial World exhibition. As well as bacteria-themed quizzes, games and talks, there will be the more traditional Christmas carols and mince pies, which you can eat under the intriguingly beautiful giant inflatable E. coli sculpture created by artist Luke Jerram. While you're there, have a look around the Bacterial World exhibition, where you can learn how bacteria shaped our past and how they may be able to help us in future, and have a game of Gut Wars, a game where you can battle bacteria in a simulated stomach.

Entrance to the party is free, although you will need to book in advance. The Museum is wheelchair accessible.
