An after-hours Pirate Party celebrating 30 years of Muppet Treasure Island, featuring screenings, live music performance, treasure hunts, access to the galleries, and pirate-themed fun.

Avast ye, spacefarers and scallywags! In 2026, the National Space Centre invites you to an after-hours Pirate Party celebrating the 30th anniversary of Muppet Treasure Island.

This special evening event transforms the Centre into a pirate’s playground, with film, live music performance, out-of-hours gallery access, treasure hunting, and plenty of victuals and grog.

An early screening for families, a later 18+ screening, access to the galleries throughout, activities from our own space pirate crew, all topped by an amazing performance from the Jimi Henson Experience, this is a night that every pirate can enjoy (there may even be some rum in the bar!)
