Have you ever wanted to learn what is beyond our planet? Join VICTA as we take a deep dive into space at the National Space Centre in Leicester!
During this unique opportunity, we will take part in a hands-on workshop led by the Space Centre staff – enabling us to explore space through touch. Following this, we’ll attend an accessible show in their huge planetarium, Audio Universe. This immersive show represents everything in the Solar System with sound, and visuals, making it accessible for everyone. There will be time during the day to visit all the other exhibitions in the centre for a fun-filled space day!
This day will be supervised by VICTA staff and will be parental drop off and collection. You will need to bring a packed lunch.
British Science Week is from the 6th to the 15th March 2026, so this is a perfect opportunity to explore the theme of ‘Curiosity: What’s your question?’
