Explore what life is like for the entire space crew in our Destination Space family show and school workshops celebrating astronaut Tim Peake’s mission to the International Space Station, the new James Webb Space Telescope, the ExoMars mission and more! With amazing demonstrations and supersonic science experiments including building rockets, exploring whether there has ever been life on Mars, launching spacecraft and learning about life onboard the ISS, this awe inspiring programme of events is an out-of-this world experience not to be missed.
