For over six decades, humanity has ventured into the cosmos.
Now Techniquest’s very own space programme is looking to make that first step into space exploration.
Join us for this live science show, as Technispace explores the potential problems and perils that we may face as we look to follow in the footsteps of the great cosmonauts and astronauts before us.
The countdown has begun — it’s almost time to blast off!

Aimed at children aged 5+ but everyone is welcome. Under-16s must be accompanied by an adult.
There is space for two wheelchairs (please select a wheelchair ticket when booking). Our Science Theatre is an enclosed area, but you can leave if you’d like to. Ear defenders are available on request. Sensory bags are available from the ticket desk (£20 refundable deposit, subject to availability).
Please note that every show ticket must be booked in conjunction with a valid admissions ticket. Availability is limited, so the best way to guarantee your space is to book in advance.
Weekends & school holidays until 1 February

This is where we really bring science to life in front of your eyes.
Take a seat in our 90-person tiered auditorium, where our engaging presenter will show you some incredible experiments.
Depending on the show, they could involve ferocious fire, crazy chemicals, exciting explosions or ridiculous rocket launches!
Please note that we are able to accommodate 2 guests in wheelchairs per show.
