Themed planetarium experiences Workshop
Immersive Experiences
Quick Overview - Bring the universe into your school hall! This innovative mobile planetarium experience offers a fantastic opportunity for teachers to engage students with the wonders of space without leaving the classroom. Schools can enjoy an immersive cosmic adventure, exploring the craters of the Moon, watching the Sun's surface shimmer, or getting up close with black holes and comets through captivating visuals and storytelling. Teachers can include tailored activities like investigating how gravity keeps planets in orbit or demonstrating how light travels through space using simple experiments. The workshops align with your science curriculum, covering key topics like forces, energy, and planetary science, all presented in a way that’s accessible for every pupil.Immersive Experiences have been creating memorable events for over a decade, by combining the magic of immersive digital technologies, science and amazing people.
Create a huge crowd puller for your brand or a unique PR event to draw people into your event? Our large scale installations can be modified to fit within your venues and include outdoor marquee installations for all weather scenarios.

Where we travel to
We can visit your school in: All UK Regions
What activities are available during this school workshop?
We have been installing our stunning mobile "pop-up" planetariums across the UK for years, bringing the wonders of the universe directly into schools and communities. Each installation is designed to captivate and engage, offering pupils and the public a chance to pause, explore, and be inspired.
Inside our domes, learners can journey through space, exploring planets, moons, stars, the Sun, comets, asteroids, and black holes through immersive visuals, storytelling, and interactive workshops. The experience encourages curiosity, questioning, and hands-on learning, while remaining fully inclusive for all abilities, including SEND, SLD, and PMLD learners.
Our pop-up planetariums are easy to set up, flexible, and adaptable to your timetable, providing a safe and immersive learning environment where children can discover the cosmos, understand physics concepts like gravity, motion and energy, and experience awe-inspiring science in action - all without leaving the school hall.
