The Life Science Centre is home to the biggest planetarium in the North of England and with its reclining seats, we think it’s the comfiest too!

Life’s Planetarium offers a mix of traditional planetarium shows and creative animation films to explore the wonders of our solar system – we even have films for the very young and for the amateur astronomers among you, our monthly presenter-led planetarium shows offer the chance to meet up with like-minded enthusiasts and discuss the show.

The planetarium is equipped with an analogue induction loop.
