What's on
From action-packed themed holiday weeks, festivals for the UK in space, to immersive science fiction celebrations, the National Space Centre offers unforgettable experiences for all ages.
Explore a world of discovery with hands-on workshops, live science shows, and interactive talks during our school holiday weeks. Let the little ones enjoy Small Space days, or experience the Centre in a calmer environment with Quiet Space days and Accessible Afternoons, designed for those who prefer a more relaxed visit. Home Education Days provide dedicated learning experiences, while our Premium Events bring together fans of LEGO, tabletop gaming, and science fiction for epic celebrations.
If you want to delve deeper into space science and exploration check out our Space Lates and AstroSnores evenings.
For those looking for something truly special, our Destination Dining evenings offer a unique chance to enjoy a sustainable, seasonal menu right in the heart of our galleries.
There’s always something new to explore—what will you discover next?
