Amazing Space Discoveries

Take a trip into the skies of the past and uncover what their spectacular discoveries mean for us today. To commemorate 200 years since William Herschel’s death we are taking families on a journey through space to find out more about his and his sister Caroline’s amazing space discoveries, from the planet Uranus to comets and nebulae galore!

Join us after the show for science activities and crafts to learn more about planets, constellations and dark skies with hands on science activities and crafts!

The show will last approximately 30 minutes, but please allow 45 minutes. Craft activities will be available after the show.

Suitable for ages 5+
