Sparks – free science show

Continuing Winchester Science Centre’s 20 years of wow celebration, this summer visitors are invited to take a trip down memory with a return to the popular electricity show theme – but with a retro 2002 twist. Over the past 20 years the way we use electricity has radically changed as our use of personal technology has evolved. We rely so heavily on electricity to power our lives. But what is it and how is it generated? Let’s find out together in Sparks.

Lightyear inspired activities

In Disney and Pixar’s Lightyear movie, audiences will follow the epic mission-based adventures of legendary Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear, the hero behind the toy. From Thursday, July 21 until Sunday, September 3, families to the Science Centre are invited to discover the science that inspired the movie with a fun fact-filled trail through the out-of-this-world Explorer:Space zone.

The Planetarium

Visitors can add on an unforgettable presenter-led live show or subtitled film show. Blast off into space with Solar System Adventure, a presenter-led live show. Experience a magical journey through the stars. Discover constellations and experience the awesome scale of the Solar System as an expert presenter explores the wonders above us. Visitors can also join Chad, a test astronaut, in the subtitled film show, Astronaut.
