Family Fun Day: Spectacular Space!

With thanks to CGI for supporting the CHRISTMAS LECTURES.

Calling all budding astronauts and space scientists! Following the theme of our 2025 CHRISTMAS LECTURES presented by Dame Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, join us for a fun filled day of experiments and discovery all to do with space!

Our volunteers, scientists, and engineers will be running a range of activities throughout the day. From galaxies to moons, telescopes to space toilets, come and find out about the science behind space travel, and how we learn about the different places in the Universe.

Our very own Ri Demonstrations Team will be performing a 1-hour version of the CHRISTMAS LECTURES in our theatre, filled with experiments guaranteed to delight, surprise, and inspire wonder.

It's sure to be a day that is out of this world!
