Showtimes shown in bold are eligible for the £4.75 planetarium-only rate, which can be pre-booked online for a 25p fee or bought on the door. These same shows are available at the +£2.20 add-on rate if you are also visiting the Science Centre's hands-on exhibition (pre-book exhibition + shows online here). 

If planning futher ahead, please check the Events Calendar for the dates of known school days when the planetarium is not available due to private bookings, which provide a vital source of income to support the Science Centre's educational aims. 

Although the Science Centre does its very best to stick to the advertised programme, in exceptional circumstances it may need to change or cancel showings.
