  1. Quiet Space (17)

    Are you looking to visit the National Space Centre for a bit of quiet space? Then today is just for you. 

    The National Space Centre is launching a day dedicated to those who appreciate a calmer visit.

    We are opening our doors for our Home Education Day (booked separately) and those who want a quieter space to explore the exhibition. We will not be taking school or group bookings on this day.

    We are including full entry to the Centre’s award-winning galleries, iconic Rocket Tower, UK’s largest Planetarium, as well as additional drop in talks and gallery busking, but with limited tickets available, so you can enjoy it all at your own pace.
