Scienceworks invites visitors to explore Earth and the cosmos with a series of after-hours and adults-only film screenings on the huge Planetarium dome, with a drink in hand. Every Friday night, those over 18 can explore the universe through immersive documentaries and wonder at the magic of the universe. You won’t go spacing out at these shows either, as they’re loaded with amazing visuals and stellar content.
Each night features screenings of two different films, one at 7.30pm and the other at 9pm. The films change each month – expect combinations of epic documentaries on space and nature, trippy visuals, educational and enlightening topics, classic soundtracks and celebrity narrators. Often one of the screenings includes the Planetarium's most popular film by far, the psychadelic visual accompaniment of Pink Floyd's album Dark Side of the Moon, with mesmerising and hypnotic CGI.
The earlier slot each night also includes a guided tour from a live presenter on the astronomical happenings of the night sky on that specific day. You can buy tickets to both sessions, or to either the early or late session.
It's a unique way to unwind on a Friday night, with a drink in hand and a trip into space. Find out which films are screening this month and book tickets via the website.
