Planetarium shows for chatty people!

Mondays 14 May, 11 June (2pm)

& Wednesday 16 May 11:30am (with a large adult special needs group)

It's natural for younger children or those with special needs to want to call out when they come into the planetarium. They like to share the experience, ask questions or just call out with surprise and amazement.

We normally ask visitors to watch quietly so that everyone can enjoy the show without distraction. But here is a show with a difference:

All the stars with no shushhing!

Come along to a Chatterbox Monday show and we promise not to shhhh you up*! It could get a little noisy but it should be great fun for the chatty ones. Shows are charged at our normal rate.

We're currently running "Secret of the Cardboard Rocket" (30min) in this slot as it is the most child-friendly of our shows and the least likely to scare or overwhelm younger children. However, please do be aware that some children under 5yrs don't enjoy planetarium shows, especially those scared by the dark.

If you'd be interesting in seeing other shows in this slot, please let us know!

*I would love to say there are no limits, but if there is very loud constant screaming, or shouting out of lots of interesting expletives, we are very sorry but we would have to ask you to leave. Special needs groups with members who enjoy the latter activity are advised to book private shows to save other visitors' blushes :)
