The night sky is something we often think of as eternal and unchanging, when actually it's in a constant state of flux.

Step into the giant silver ball to discover how constellations move over time, investigate the planet Venus, and take a look at the movement of stars over astronomical timescales. You'll even get a glimpse of the sky above Bristol one million years in the future!

The combination of our incredible 3D Planetarium with our lively and knowledgeable presenters, makes for a remarkable show and a truly jaw-dropping experience.

Whether you are an amateur astronomer or completely new to stargazing, you'll be able to escape the everyday and leave inspired to discover the night sky for yourself.
