availability

Our planetarium service is probably the most experienced in the UK. Four different sized domes are available that can handle up to 120 pupils in one show at a time plus staff. We work in schools within Beds, Berks, Bucks, Cambs, Essex, Hants, Herts, Kent, southern Norfolk, Oxon, Suffolk, Surrey & Sussex. We will consider working in any area.


We are now based on the Isle of Wight and can service Island schools virtually anytime of the year. For the mainland, we can offer three / four set weeks a year... 


2026;    22nd-26th November

2027;    22nd-26th March         (other dates to be announced)


Booking any mobile planetarium service, help keep coaches off the road saving congestion, emissions and oil depletion. Along with 'super-scrimping' this spreads out our costs and keep prices down as much as we can. We don't buy in the latest technology just because it's available. We believe in providing a service that any school or organisation can afford. 

We do like to keep all half terms and some longer school breaks free of bookings as these are the best times for maintenance & upgrading equipment, servicing vans and rest.

Please still enquire about any date. We are semi-retired,  we will still consider any potential booking. 

Regarding birthday parties, Cubs, Scout, Brownies, Guides events etc, we have a friend, Caroline Beevis that specialises in Space themed events. Her website link..  www.spacetalks.co.uk


​Public events: We feel the service isn't suitable as it is lecture based; not compatible with screaming babies, children wondering around the dome in the dark etc. One guy insisted a dog accompanied him inside, then peed on the floor;  the owner accused the dog.
