Explorer Dome – Science and Sound

The Explorer Dome returns to the Cathedral this summer with a brand new show.

The inflatable six-metre Mobile Planetarium returns with a show about science and sound! Explore and question the world of vibration, sound waves, frequency, pitch and hearing. How fast is sound? Why do astronauts need radios, and how do bats see in the dark? With thunder and lightning, pops and pipes, make music with our hands-on guide to the nature of noise!

This is a live, presenter-led science show suitable for families and children aged 5+.

Don’t miss…

Join us between 9.30am and 3pm, you’ll have a chance to make your own spin drum. Have fun decorating your own musical instrument to bring it to life!
