Space Lates at the National Space Centre - World Space Week

Space Lates is an evening created for people who want to know more – those who have an interest in astronomy, space missions, and the exciting research happening here in the UK, around the world, and out in space.

For this Space Lates, we’ll be finding out more about the people who explore space and work to protect us from the natural and human-created dangers beyond Earth that we need to keep an eye on, with an additional optional sleepover package.

We’ve curated a special evening packed with guest speakers, interactive workshops and live demos, planetarium shows, and stargazing.

Explore our galleries after hours and finish your evening with a live astronomy session with the Leicester Astronomical Society (weather permitting).

By booking the sleepover ticket, you can enjoy all the activities, workshops, talks, breakfast and, of course, a most unusual place to sleep. We hope you will join us for this special evening beneath the stars, with no chance of rain.
