SoapWorks
Have you visited SoapWorks yet? William Lever went from selling soap to creating the world’s first multi-national company, right here in Port Sunlight.
SoapWorks is an interactive experience all about the science of soap, open to schools and education groups for bespoke learning sessions.
Situated inside what was once the village’s schoolroom at the Lyceum, the exhibition is designed to encourage more children to engage with the STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). SoapWorks explores why we need soap, how it gets made, what we like to buy and why, and all the different ways we use it. Learners are invited to have lots of fun discovering the story and science of soap and its life-saving properties, as part of our learning programme.
Also explored in the exhibition is the story of William Lever, who went from selling soap to creating the world’s first multi-national company, right here in Port Sunlight. Explore how the people who lived in the village and worked in his soap factory, and the workers in Unilever’s factory here today, have changed how we wash our bodies and clean our homes.
