An Evening With Helen Sharman
For one night only: at the same time she would have been orbiting Earth, join us for a live talk and Q&A marking 35 years since she became the first Briton in space.
Step into an unforgettable evening of space exploration as we celebrate 35 years since Helen Sharman made history aboard the Mir space station. Join us at our award-winning Centre for an inspiring live presentation from Helen, as she shares first hand stories of life in orbit, followed by an audience Q&A.
Your ticket includes a welcome drink on arrival and full access to our galleries, where you can explore interactive exhibits and view artefacts connected to Helen’s mission.
Choose from a range of ticket packages, including VIP options with premium seating and added exclusives, to make your experience truly special. Whether you’re a lifelong space enthusiast or simply looking for a unique and memorable night out, this is your chance to celebrate a landmark moment in British space history.
