You can host your next event, end-of-year festive celebrations, or cosmic Christmas party in the UK’s largest standalone planetarium and explore two exhibition floors filled with hands-on interactives that aren’t just fun for kids!

Winchester Science Centre is the south of England's leading science and discovery centre, part of the independent educational charity, Wonderseekers, which is on a mission to inspire and engage all children in science, and we're just three miles from central Winchester, less than two hours from central London, and near the M3.
