In December 2015, British European Space Agency astronaut Tim Peake started his mission to the International Space Station.

To celebrate this mission, our science show will show you the dangers, realities and daily routine of life in space.

Watch a mini-rocket launch, discover how astronauts go about their everyday tasks in microgravity, find out why tiny meteorites are threatening and why returning to Earth is so very dangerous.

All of this is in our fun-filled science show which is sure to contain a bang (or two!)

Shows run at 11.00, 12.00, 13.30 and 14.30. The show lasts 30 mins.

Due to the popularity of our science shows we advise booking in advance. Please call 01477 571766 to secure your place a day in advance as we cannot take bookings on the day.

Please arrive at least 1 hour before your show is due to start.

Price: Included in normal admission
