Marty Jopson — Invisible Worlds
Take a journey from everyday life down into the realm of microscopical wonders with Marty Jopson, the BBC One Show’s resident scientist.
The adventure begins with things you can almost see but soon you will find yourself in a world totally invisible to the unaided eye. Marty will take you from the very beginnings of microscopy, through hugely magnified insects, bacteria and plants to the most up to date fluorescent techniques demonstrated live on the stage. A show not just full of stunning images, but interactive demonstrations and samples harvested from the audience. You have been warned!
This show is supported by Zeiss, global leaders in the manufacture of microscopes.

Sue Bailey — Storyteller
I was born and educated in Southampton. I studied Microbiology and Virology at Warwick University; worked in Youth Hostels in the Peak District and Norfolk; taught in Kirkby in Merseyside for 7 years; had 3 sons whom we home educated; lived in Wisconsin USA for three years and settled on the Isle of Wight in 2000.
I have told stories and run workshops at a number of places and venues over the years including for final year PGCE students at the University of Bedfordshire and at Australia’s Castlemaine State Festival.
On the Isle of Wight, I have told stories at many of the festivals and community events that take place over here. Highlights have included telling tales at the Isle of Wight Festival, Hullabaloo, and Rhythmtree.
Recently, I have worked in collaboration with the cultural and education sector with many Island schools to help children and young people create stories inspired by their local heritage. Phlegm’s Ventnor Giant mural for example, inspired over 200 different tales each recordeed and used as part of Arts Award qualifications.
I tell tales at birthday parties, weddings, family gatherings, literary events, assemblies…
As you may have gathered, I love telling stories – anywhere, anytime, and to anyone!
