Accessibility information for Badge Nights

All uniformed groups are very welcome to come to a Badge Night. We stagger the session times so every age group gets a fantastic experience. All our exhibits are interactive. That means you can enjoy them using your senses. Touch them, watch them, hear them. The exhibits are low down so everyone can reach them.

Planetarium shows can be unusual and exciting experiences. All our shows are relaxed and fun with calm presentations. If you want to call out, ask questions or swap ideas with your group about what you can see, go right ahead. It's not super dark and you can move around, go out and come back in if you like. If you have a wheelchair, we have spaces for you to sit with seats for your friends. The stairs have lights to make them easy to see.

If your group has SEND needs, we can help you create a really magical experience just for them. Just talk to our accessibility team – we're here to help.
