After Dark - Starlight Cinema: Interstellar

Are you ready for a completely unique cinema experience? Grab a seat, sit back and relax as Interstellar plays out under the stars of The Planetarium in our late-afternoon mini movie series this summer.

When the Science Centre doors close, the cinema screen will be rolling! Why not spend the day exploring the science exhibits and live shows before grabbing some popcorn and reliving some of the best movies from the past. Treat the kids to some movie history and relive your childhood memories. What are you waiting for?

Starlight Cinema is part of our After Dark evening events.

Your Starlight Cinema ticket includes:

• A showing of Interstellar under the stars of the Planetarium.
• Opportunity to purchase popcorn, nachos, paninis, mac & cheese and drinks (subject to availability).

*Please note that the Science Centre will reopen for this evening event at 7:15pm. The movie will start at 7:45pm. Interstellar runs for 2 hours and 49 minutes. The film is shown in The Planetarium on a curved screen therefore some seats may have obscured viewing angles. All children attending must be accompanied by an adult. There will be no access to the exhibition floors during this event.

Entrance to the Science Centre during the day is not included with your ticket. If you would like to visit during the day as well, please book general admission alongside your event ticket.*

The Planetarium is accessible so everyone can have a special experience here. 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 family and friends. The stairs have lights to make them easy to see.

About the movie (rating 12)

In Earth's future, a global crop blight and second Dust Bowl are slowly rendering the planet uninhabitable. Professor Brand (Michael Caine), a brilliant NASA physicist, is working on plans to save mankind by transporting Earth's population to a new home via a wormhole. But first, Brand must send former NASA pilot Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) and a team of researchers through the wormhole and across the galaxy to find out which of three planets could be mankind's new home.

This event is a fundraising event for Wonderseekers, the charity that runs Winchester Science Centre.
