"It was an amazing experience..."
See some of the wonders of the night sky in an immersive environment which makes it feel like you are an integral part of the Universe...
You can also enjoy an enthralling immersive film which surrounds your visual field, making the content of the film feel very lifelike. It has been likened to an IMAX film experience...
An experience of a lifetime is available to a wide variety of audiences : school children of all ages, school clubs, scouting groups, museums, adult groups (such as U3A, Rotary Clubs), science festivals, gifted & talented schemes, and private companies.
The content of each presentation is tailored to the audience's requirements - it can be purely educational to fulfil curriculum requirements or just for fun. Maybe even a combination of both as the experience is science "edu-tainment" at its best.

Advantages of booking Voyager Dome
To organise a school trip to a planetarium or science centre can involve a lot of work. The cost of hiring a coach alone will cover a visit from my dome. Younger children sometimes get upset by the thought of travelling to somewhere unfamiliar and additional adult supervision is required when taking children out of school.Several schools I have visited have commented that a visit from my dome has been far more cost-effective than a school trip and less disruptive to the school routine, especially for the younger children. It makes more sense to have an exciting experience visit you...
Area of Operation
I usually work within a 60 mile radius of Sheffield so include cities such as Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, Manchester, Oldham, Derby, Nottingham, Mansfield, Chesterfield, Scunthorpe, Hull, Rotherham, Doncaster, Barnsley, Huddersfield and all towns and villages in between.If you are outside this area I may be able travel to you but this could entail an overnight stay which would be added to the overall cost of my visit. Contact me to discuss options.
Please note that there is an additional mileage charge for any client located more than 30 miles from my base in Sheffield.
