Hello Nikos,
You could try:

Published many moons ago, it contains the accounts of different people who
set up some of the earliest hands-on centres in the UK and beyond. It is not
a recent this-is-how-you-do-it guide, but it contains some great accounts
from people, so many years ago before us, who were committed to the
communication of science through hands-on interaction.
By the way, the contents of the book are below.
All the best,
Jenny Man
