Can I use my Annual Pass to book the Home Education Day?

Unfortunately we have very restricted space in the classrooms, so you can book a maximum of ONE supervisory adult per child. However, if you would like to buy standard day entry to the National Space Centre for any additional adults/children, you can all spend time together in the Centre's exhibitions outside of the 30 minute talk, 60 minute workshop and 30 minute show. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times in the Centre.  

We provide all resources required for the sessions. We strongly suggest you download the gallery trails in advance and bring those with you. Children are also encouraged to bring a water in a sealed bottle with them (to stay hydrated throughout).

No, children must be supervised by an adult at all times. 

No, the sessions have been developed specifically for that age range. It would not be fair on your child, or others in the group.

Each session will include children of differing ages and abilities. Due to the nature of the sessions, we do not have sufficient resources for children to work individually.

No, all tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable. 

Please check out our Accessible Afternoons, which may be more appropriate for you and your child. We also have Space Cadets online learning you can do at home (with access to Zoom). 

Yes, the National Space Centre will be open as normal to the public, but we will not be taking school or large group bookings on this day. Workshops and talks will be exclusive to those booked on the Home Education day, however, free time in the exhibition and galleries will include any public visiting on the day.

This event is only open to individual home educators, it cannot be booked by schools or groups.

Only children booked into the activities may attend them. We have a capacity set on each session, which will include booked children and their responsible adult only

We request that there is no eating or drinking during the sessions, with the exception of water in a sealed bottle. We have a café on site that can be used during your free time, or you are most welcome to bring a packed lunch with you

Late arrival may mean you are unable to join any sessions that have already started.

Home Education Day tickets are not valid for the FREE Annual Pass upgrade.

As every child requires a parent or guardian to supervise them in the Home Education sessions we are not offering any free tickets to keep this fair for all.
