For everyone who looks up and wonders…

A spectacular, theatrical experience for all without any heavy-going science, The Night Sky Show takes you on an epic journey across the cosmos.

Presented by passionate and experienced astronomer and author Adrian West (aka VirtualAstro), you’ll be guided around the stars, planets and more. Using amazing big screen visual effects to explore the endless possibilities of the night sky and beyond, this is not an astronomy lecture. This is a truly captivating night to remember. With entertaining tours and stories, the universe has never been so much fun!

Adrian has written astronomy and space-related articles for the BBC, Met Office and National Trust and more recently, his new book - The Secret World of Stargazing.

The show offers a captivating and inclusive experience, featuring content that often breaks away from tradition. Prioritising fun and engagement over complex scientific jargon, the show ensures everyone feels informed and entertained regardless of age or interest level. 

Join us for an exciting journey through the wonders of the universe!
