Have you ever wanted to experience the sensation of floating in space? You can do just that at a new planetarium arriving in the UK with affordable tickets.
A new planetarium will be appearing across the UK throughout 2026.
A new planetarium experience is coming to the UKCredit: Planetarium Go!
It will tour five destinations across the country, with the first stop being LondonCredit: Planetarium Go!
The planetarium will initially pop up in London, before traveling to Sheffield, Hull, and finally, Northampton.
The first location for the Planetarium Go! experience will be at Battersea Power Station from January 30 to March 1.
It will then move to Sheffield from March 6 to 28, followed by Hull from April 3 to 25, and Northampton from May 29 to June 21, although specific venues have yet to be disclosed.
Inside, the planetarium will feature a 360-degree screen displaying various films, either educational or based on fictional narratives, each lasting between 20 to 35 minutes.
Additionally, some visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy interactive experiences.
The experience will take place in a large, spherical pop-up dome, with different film screenings suitable for various age groups.
For instance, you might choose to watch ‘Exploring The Solar System + The Ring World,’ a film that guides viewers through exploring Venus, Mars, and the Moon.
Afterward, attendees will view ‘The Ring World’ to discover whether human life could exist on other planets.
For younger children, ‘3-2-1 Lift Off’ may be a more suitable choice, featuring Alan the hamster scientist, who encounters a robot that has crash-landed from outer space.
There is also ‘From Earth to the Universe,’ a documentary film lasting 30 minutes, serving as an educational option for children over 10 years old.
The planetarium will be open Monday to Thursday and Sunday from 10 AM to 7:10 PM, and on Fridays and Saturdays from 10 AM to 9 PM.
Tickets start at £15 per person or £12 for students, and children under four can enter for free.
If you visit the planetarium while it is at Battersea Power Station, there are several other attractions to explore, allowing you to make it a full day of adventure.
Until January 4, visitors can enjoy the exhibits at Neon at Battersea Power Station.
