Planetarium at Stowe House

Join us this summer for a popular daytime night’s sky experience! We’re excited to welcome back two family-friendly shows inside an inflatable planetarium within Stowe House.

We Are Aliens – For families – children ages 6+ 

Explore how our understanding of life on Earth guides the exploration of alien life elsewhere in the Universe. During the show you visit Mars, Europa, and distant Exoplanets to help answer the ultimate question: are we alone? An immersive experience that perfectly balances science, education, and family entertainment. Narrated by Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley from Harry Potter.)

The show will last approximately 45 minutes.

Shows will run on the hour at 10.00am, 12.00pm & 3.00pm

An Incredible Introduction to our Night Sky – For ages 6+ 

An easy to understand and informative, presenter-led tour of our night sky by award-winning UK Astronomy founder Ross Hockham. With a breathtaking look at our night sky projected all around you, Ross will guide you through our neighbouring constellations and the solar system, as well as venturing into deep space. This is an interactive talk with time for questions. Suitable for families.

The show will last approximately 45 minutes.

Shows will run on the hour at 11.00am, 2.00pm & 4.00pm
