A planetarium visit without the coach trip
Yorkshire is a great county for stargazing: the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors are both International Dark Sky Reserves, and Bradford's National Science and Media Museum, where we have run dome events ourselves, is one of the UK's best-known science museums. We bring that same wonder into school halls and shopping centres from Leeds to Hull.
Every visit is live and presenter-led: pupils lie back under a full 360° sky, ask questions and see the night sky above Leeds tonight. Shows link to the National Curriculum from EYFS to GCSE, and we can run back-to-back sessions so every class takes part on the same day.
