Our debut exhibition in our new temporary space over the summer holidays is nearly ready!
From 25th July, come and see us in Green Lanes Shopping Centre, Barnstaple!
In our out-of-this-world exhibition, we’re going to take you on a virtual journey from our solar system out to distant exoplanets, and all the way home to Planet Earth.
Through hands-on exhibits, VR experiences and creative activities, we’ll explore how local scientists learn about the climates of these distant planets…
… and the worlds they’ve discovered so far are extreme!
Brace yourself for rains of glass, lava landscapes and giant dust storms: living on Earth is like a walk in the park compared to life on these exoplanets…
Planning your visit
Booking: We’ll soon launch our booking system where you can reserve your slot in advance – during quieter periods we will have space for a drop-in visit, but booking guarantees your entry at the chosen time.
Cost: Since this is a temporary exhibition, we’ll be experimenting with a ‘pay what you can’ system. We’ll have suggested pricing tiers from £3-7 per person, although if you love what we do and want to support us further, you can make an additional donation to help us do more and reach more people!
We don’t want cost to be a barrier, so pick the amount that works for you and your group.
How long will it take? Plan for your visit to last at least 45 minutes – sometimes people stay in our exhibitions for hours!
What will it be like? The experience is self-guided and we’ll have our exhibition staff and volunteer mediators around to chat to.
This exhibition will be an updated version of our former Climate Exhibitions – check out the images and virtual tour here.
You’ll be welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks, but please take any rubbish home with you and help keep our space tidy for other visitors.
