The Planetarium seats 85 and is the only public planetarium in the UK with 3D technology. 

All our shows are presented live by our Live Science team and are written and created by us. You'll experience surround sound, captivating storytelling and stunning visuals on the 360 degree dome. 

Before you take your seats, you can explore what it's like to live in space, and possibilities for future space travel, in the Space Gallery. 

If you're visiting us in the daytime, you'll need to purchase a day ticket to We The Curious to access the Planetarium. Just add your chosen show to your booking before you check out. 

There might be a limited number of tickets still available on the day, so do ask the front desk if you forgot to book online.

We also run Planetarium Nights for adults on selected Thursday evenings, as well as film screenings and other special events.
