Cosmic Classroom Inflatable Planetarium delivers the awe and wonder of the night sky

If you want something different for your school, community or private group then a visit from our planetarium is a fantastic option.

Our inflatable dome runs state-of-the-art professional planetarium software and the array of presentations are truly awe-inspiring.

For schools it is an excellent way to increase engagement, learning and participation in science. We link to the curriculum and a wide range of topics not just limited to astronomy. As we visit you the cost can be a fraction of that compared to taking your students out of school. Our presenters include experienced astronomers, scientists and teachers and we can work with you to maximize the benefit to your students.

We offer a wide range of presentations covering a substantial amount of the curriculum in science from reception through to A-level. We do not stop at just the planetarium but can also extend the experience with a range of supplementary activities.

For public and community groups a planetarium is something very different to make your event memorable. If you have a community group that wants a speaker then you do not just have to have a talking head with some slides we can take your audience to the universe.

We have two Mobile Planetarium domes. Please take a look below to see which is most suitable for your school/venue and audience. 

5m Dome

Requires a minimum 7m x 7m floorspace and 3.5m headroom.

Requires access to two power sockets.

Accommodates up to 35 young children or 25 adults who are seated on the floor.

Our Planetarium presentations usually last around 40-50min but can be tailored to your school requirements. We can provide presenter-led shows, 'sky tours', any of our large library of planetarium films, or any combination thereof. We can also link in to specific curriculum topics or themes.

Please note:

The equipment is heavy so a ground floor hall with level access is preferred, unless a working lift is available.
We require about 30min to set up and 30min to pack away. 
If we need to pack down for lunch (e.g. if using a lunch hall), please allow 15min for us to pack down and 20min for us to set up again.
Our team will manage entrance and exit of students to the dome and run the interactive presentation, including questions and answers.
The school is responsible for managing behaviour of the students, and at least two members of staff from the school must attend with each group.

Sizes & Requirements:

7m Dome

Requires a minimum 8m x 9m floorspace and 4.3m headroom.

Requires access to two power sockets.

Accommodates up to 65 young children or 45 adults with a mixture of floor seating and chairs.

The 7m dome is wheelchair accessible.

Please bear in mind that the 7m dome is often the better option for comfort, even for smaller groups, but please check the physical space you have available.
