About Planetarium Go!
What is Planetarium Go?
Planetarium Go! is a mobile planetarium that travels across the UK, bringing immersive 360° space shows to families, schools and curious minds of all ages.
Do I need to book in advance?
Yes. Sessions often sell out, so booking ahead is strongly recommended.
How many people can attend each session?
The planetarium has a maximum capacity of 60 guests per session.
How long is the session?
Each session lasts around 40-45 minutes (including entry and exit).
Film running times vary between 25 and 35 minutes.
What age is the experience suitable for?
All of the shows are family-friendly. However, some educational content may be better suited to older children, as younger audiences may find certain topics more difficult to engage with.
Recommended age guidance is displayed for each show and is provided by film distributors. These recommendations are intended as guidance only.
Does my child under 4 need a ticket?
Children under 4 years old do not require a ticket, provided they are seated on a parent or guardian's lap throughout the session.
As they do not occupy a separate seat, there is no need to add them to your booking.
What happens if I’m late?
Late arrivals may not be allowed to enter, so please arrive at least 10 minutes early.
Accessibility & Inclusion
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
Yes. The venue is fully wheelchair accessible and includes two designated wheelchair spaces.
How do I book a wheelchair space?
Accessible and companion tickets are available directly via the Planetarium website.
Is the experience suitable for guests who are deaf or hard of hearing?
At present, the planetarium does not provide subtitles or captions. As a result, the experience may not be fully accessible for guests who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Seating & Audio
What type of seating do you provide?
Our seating consists of deck-style chairs arranged in connected rows.
To provide the best possible viewing experience, chairs are positioned at varying reclining angles throughout the dome. Guests seated closer to the screen may be in a more reclined position than those seated further back.
Guests with back, neck or mobility concerns may wish to consider this before booking.
How is the audio provided?
Each guest receives an individual headset with adjustable volume, allowing for a personalised listening experience.
Who do I contact about tickets?

Health & Comfort
Can the experience cause motion sickness or discomfort?
Some shows include simulated movement through space and sequences featuring moving planets, stars and other celestial objects.
Guests who are sensitive to motion sickness, dizziness or vertigo should consider their own comfort levels before attending.
Is the experience suitable for guests with photosensitive epilepsy?
Formal testing in relation to photosensitive epilepsy hasn't been conducted.
Some shows may contain occasional rapid visual transitions or changes in lighting. Guests with photosensitive conditions should use their own discretion before attending.
