About This Show

We are often treated to clear, crisp nights over the New Year holiday period, and many people take the chance to have a look at the night sky.

Come to the Planetarium for a guided tour of what's up in the starry sky at this time of the year.

Accessibility

All public areas of the Planetarium are accessible to wheelchairs. Disabled parking bays are available

Toilets

The Planetarium has two easy access, gender neutral toilets, one of which is slightly larger so as to accommodate carers if this is necessary.

Seating

The seats in the main auditorium are ex-aircraft seats. Those in the first two rows are set at a slightly reclined angle to provide the best possible view. They can, however, be tipped forwards to enable easier access to the rows behind when entering and leaving. The seats in the back row do not recline. They provide a wide view of the entire dome area, which some of our visitors prefer. The auditorium is fully accessible to wheelchairs.
