Winchester Science Centre Cosmic Christmas 🌟
Santa’s back in the Planetarium at Winchester Science Centre this festive season! On weekends and during the school holidays between Saturday 14th and Monday 23rd December families are invited to blast into Cosmic Christmas, a live-action immersive space adventure where theatrical performance, magical effects and an out-of-this-world journey through space on the Planetarium dome will bring an original Christmas tale to life. Children will receive a special Christmas gift and there’ll be time to meet Santa to snap a festive selfie. Families will be sure to make memories this Christmas that will propel them to the stars and back!
Christmas cheer has once again taken over the Planetarium and Santa’s North Pole has come to Winchester. Young and old will be transported into an intergalactic wonderland as Christmas comes to life through an immersive theatrical experience like no other. Families are invited to join Santa as he recreates an epic mission to the International Space Station while Aster, the intergalactic planetary elf, brings it all to life through a magical space adventure on the 360 degree Planetarium dome. There’ll also be fun audience participation and magical special effects that will place the whole audience into the story, plus a meet and greet with the man in red himself!
Cosmic Christmas is a totally unique festive experience that lasts for approximately 45 minutes, including a meet and greet with Santa for selfies. On Monday 23rd December, a British Sign Language interpreter will be signing during the 11am show. Take a look at previous Cosmic Christmas events – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLzgEZbmXrc
And that’s not all. Families visiting for Cosmic Christmas will also get to experience all the fun of Space Station Science as part of their general admission ticket. Astronauts in training will be put through their paces as they learn what it takes to live and work in space. In live science show, Blast Off, audiences will be wowed by explosive combustion experiments that explore how shuttles launch into the stars. In the Satellite Station, space cadets will learn how to build and maintain satellites like they do on the International Space Station. And in the Space Garage the space crew will get hands-on with real moon rock and find out all about the objects that are floating around in space right now!
