Solar System Stars is a live presenter-led Planetarium show that is a perfect introduction to the stars and planets. It’s great for the whole family.

Get set to head off on an epic journey through space as an expert Planetarium pilot explores the wonders above us. For thousands of years people have looked into the sky and told stories about what they can see. Discover more about our neighbouring planets and explore the constellation stories of the stars that share the sky with them.

Accessibility information for Secrets of the Stars

The Planetarium is accessible so everyone can have a special experience here. Planetarium shows are unusual and exciting experiences.  All our shows are relaxed and fun with calm presentations. We call them 'chatterbox shows'.  If you want to call out, ask questions or swap ideas with your group about what you can see, go right ahead.

It's not super dark and you can move around, go out and come back in if you like. If you have a wheelchair, we have spaces for you to sit with seats for your family and friends. The stairs have lights to make them easy to see. 

We've got super 3D printed models and NASA's official tactile books. You can use them when you watch the show. We also have an induction loop. Sensitive to loud noises? You can borrow ear defenders from us before the show starts.

***On Tuesday, 27th May and Saturday, 7th June, a British Sign Language interpreter will be signing during the 10.15am and 4pm shows. Talk to our Accessibility team so we can reserve a seat for you near the front.***
