Tim Peake Day

18th June
National Space Centre, Exploration Drive, Leicester, LE4 5NS

Celebrate ten years since Tim Peake’s Principia mission return with a unique day featuring talks, book signing opportunities and insights into his life and work since landing.

Join us as we celebrate 10 years since UK ESA astronaut Tim Peake returned to Earth from his Principia mission to the International Space Station. This special event offers visitors the chance to hear directly from Tim about his time in space and the work carried out during the mission.

Throughout the day, guests can take part in a range of activities linked to Principia, hear Tim speak in the Planetarium, and have books signed. It’s a welcoming event for anyone with an interest in space, science, or engineering, and a chance to reflect on the impact of the Principia mission a decade on.
