After Dark
A chance for adults to enjoy a child-free exploration of the hands-on exhibition floors and both a film and live show in the planetarium.
An evening where adults are able explore their own curiosity in science with full access to the hands-on exhibits and experimentation space, the Invention Studio, as well as enjoy an immersive journey through space in the UK's largest standalone planetarium. Two live, presenter-led shows are included in the ticket price.
During the live planetarium show the presenter will take you on a tour of the visible night sky - the stars, planets, and objects in sight - and provide hints and tips to help you find them yourselves.
Event schedule:
Each evening will consist of two live, presenter-led planetarium experiences, the first giving you an overview of our Universe and the second discovering more about a particular topic which changes each month. The exhibition floors and the Invention Studio will be open to explore and the Hub café/bar will be open for drinks and light snacks.
