Classical Skies: Christmas

Journey beyond the stars as the music of Christmas fills the planetarium in a magical live experience beneath the dome.

Settle back beneath a winter sky filled with stars, shimmering constellations and distant galaxies as a live string quartet performs instrumental arrangements of beloved festive music.

From delicate carols and nostalgic favourites to sweeping cinematic themes and joyful Christmas classics, each piece is paired with a luminous journey through the cosmos, creating an experience where music, light, winter and space come together.

Watch the universe sparkle above you as the quartet carries audiences from peaceful starlit skies and icy moonscapes to glowing nebulae, celestial snowfalls and spectacular voyages across the galaxy.

Perfect for families, couples, friends, music lovers and anyone looking for something special at Christmas, this is more than a festive concert. It's a cinematic journey through space filled with the sound and wonder of the season.

They are wide and broad. Seating is raked - seats at the back sit almost upright, seats at the front lean back. Whichever seat you choose, you’ll always get a padded flip-up seat with head-rest.

We have blue badge parking available and level access throughout the venue.
