| This week's events previews Social Science, GlasgowYou would be wrong in thinking the Glasgow Science Centre was a place only for packed lunches, playtime and Nina the Neuron. This Friday, a new night offers a unique opportunity for adults to create a playground all for themselves, minus the kids. Social Science follows the unexpected success of similar such nights in London where over-18s are invited to participate in a range of interactive exhibits and activities. Try your skill at The Custard Run, Fly Me To The Moon and Be Fast To Be First before taking a well-deserved break at the fully stocked bar and buffet. Also on the agenda is a preview of the Scottish Ballet's Nutcracker and a private showing of Disney's 3D Christmas Carol film.Glasgow Science Centre, Fri, vist glasgowsciencecentre.org or call 0141-420 5003Allison ColeVictorian Festival Of Christmas, PortsmouthThis weekend of historic frolics promises to give you a genuine taste of Dickensian Christmas, though children may be pleased to learn it's not limited to giving them sixpence before shoving them up a chimney. What they will witness instead are snowy pavements, a festive fairground and carol singers, though adults who whisper "humbug" can console themselves with mince pies, mulled wine and some bawdy music hall entertainment. You may even spot Queen Victoria wandering around the festive market.Historic Dockyard, Fri to 29 Nov, visit christmasfestival.co.ukIain AitchHyde Park Winter Wonderland, LondonThe build up to Christmas promptly kicked off this year around two months before the big day. While we could possibly do without sales on holiday decorations before we've managed to haul out the winter coats for a dry-clean, Hyde Park's Winter Wonderland is one event that couldn't come quickly enough. Boasting one of London's largest temporary ice rinks, a German market and a giant observation wheel, plus new attractions for this year, it's an ideal place to slip in to seasonal revelry.Hyde Park, W1, Sat to 3 Jan, visit hydeparkwinterwonderland.comAllison Cole OUT AND ABOUTSaturday, BirminghamThe Supreme Cat Show 2009Catch sight of some of the country's most admirable felines.
