Past Destination Space Events

Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre's ever-popular Girls Night Out event returns in March 2019 with a special focus on Mars! You’ll get to meet Dr Natasha Stephen from the University of Plymouth, whose research focuses on linking information from Martian meteorites with data from space missions.

You’ll also get the chance to learn more about the planets of our Solar System with a Jodrell Bank expert in their inflatable Planetarium. And, as ever, stick around and chat to early career researchers, find out more about Women in Science, and enjoy our famous chocolate brownies!

This event is aimed at adults and children aged 12+

Tickets: £13.50/£12.50 (10% discount for Annual Pass holders)

Come along to Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre and see the new Destination Space family show. Shows are happening throughout the week (on weekdays only) during October Half Term

The new Destination Space show 'The Sky's Not Your Limit' will be making an appearance at Bluedot Festival. The shows (one per day) will be delivered by Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre. Keep an eye out for the Festival programme for more info! 

The Centre will be opening its doors to uniformed groups from 5pm - 9pm. Tim Peake's mission will be very much in our minds as we explore the night sky (weather and light permitting) and help towards activity badges including science and astronomy.

Explore Tim Peake's Principia Mission to the international Space Station (ISS) and life onboard for the astronauts! You will also experience our new planetarium shows.a

Join us at Dynamic Earth as part of our exciting project Destination Space! Our ‘space-tacular’ Robots event will be celebrating some of the amazing science and technology developed by engineers to support life in space. Discover how robots are used to help astronauts like Tim Peake aboard the International Space Station and how we can control these robots to explore places beyond human reach. Programming sessions will be available throughout the day for junior robot engineers.

Get the chance to dress up as an astronaut and get your picture taken with Tim Peake on board the International Space Station or even on top of the Earth. Make sure you bring your best astronaut smile with you.
