In celebration of World Space Week, we are delighted to present an evening of science, comedy, arts and discovery - exclusively for adults.
Discover how microgravity may provide conditions perfect for developing life-saving drugs, learn about the impact of the Sun’s magnetic fields on everything from the formation of galaxies to mobile phone communication, hear from leading engineers in space tech and immerse yourself in a newly established Mars colony via the medium of interactive theatre. You can even lose yourself in cosmic grooves and space-themed anthems courtesy of the Soundtracks DJs, the Ready Singer One choir and singer-songwriter Molly Barnes.
A bar and café will be open throughout the evening, with drinks, snacks and refreshments available for purchase.
