Two astronomers and a group of entthusiastic volunteers run this unique science centre, a community enterprise.

We open every day during school holidays, with walk-in shows between 10:30 am and 4:00 pm; however, pre-booking is recommended.

In school term time, we can get school class bookings, so we may not be open for public shows,

You can book for other days, but we require advance notice of at least two days, preferably more.

Also, we have stargazing evenings and ‘Nightsky Experience’ shows, displayed on this website and on Facebook,

It is the smallest fulldome fixed planetarium in the UK with 28 armchair seats and different multi-show programmes daily.

We have WALK-IN WEDNESDAY every week, with different shows on the hour every hour until 11:00 am and 2:00 pm. Come to multiple shows!

Please arrive 15 minutes beforehand. Just phone 07713 762796 to check we are open on that day.

We request feedback from all planetarium show visitors, and over 90% offer visitors rate us GOOD or better.

All stargazing and evening shows have restricted numbers, xo are pre-booked and pre-paid three to five dats beforehand.
