About

Noisy Toys was started by Steve Summers in 2007 to provide hands-on workshops that combine music and science. Since then Noisy Toys has expanded in several different directions particularly the interactive installations for events as well as stageshows and science busking.
Noisy Toys is part of a limited company called Scavenger Labs incorporated in 2018 by Steve Summers & Mick Chesterman. Scavenger Labs will gradually take over all of the educational content of Noisy Toys.

We are based in Calderdale, West Yorkshire but can travel all over the country, and sometimes beyond the solar system.
