This May will see Pirates take over the planetarium at the National Space Centre as things take a sharp turn into full swashbuckling chaos with an after-hours Pirate Party that celebrates the 30th anniversary of Muppet Treasure Islandand featuring film screenings, live music performance, treasure hunts, access to the galleries, and pirate-themed fun.
Held on Friday 22 May, 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.
The evening’s main event, a 30th anniversary screening of Muppet Treasure Island will take place in the UK’s largest planetarium with an early screening for families, a later 18+ screening, access to the galleries throughout, and activities from the Space Centre’s own space pirate crew, all topped by an amazing performance from The Puppet Folk Experience.
Tickets include access to the Pirate Party in the main galleries, including a performance from The Puppet Folk Experience, and entry to one of two screenings of Muppet Treasure Island: an early screening designed for families and a later screening (18+) for adults and grown-up fans.
The café and bar will be open during the event, serving up victuals and grog – perfect for both young buccaneers and seasoned sea dogs. This is a night that every pirate can enjoy – and there may even be some rum in the bar!
Throughout the evening guests can explore the National Space Centre itself – the UK’s largest visitor attraction dedicated to space – including six interactive galleries, the UK’s largest planetarium, the iconic Rocket Tower, and a host of hands-on exhibits, real spacecraft, and immersive experiences that bring the story of space exploration to life.
