Quiet Hour at Stardome: Low-sensory planetarium sessions

Stardome's quiet hour offers a low-sensory environment tailored to accommodate individuals with autism or sensory and neurodiversity needs. All ages welcome.

During these sessions, we modify both our planetarium and broader gallery spaces to provide a gentler sensory experience, including:

  • A guided planetarium session exploring the night sky, led by a presenter
  • Reduced volume levels
  • Soft ambient lighting, with planetarium doors remaining open throughout the show
  • A breakout space

Spaces are also strictly limited to 20 visitors per session. Carers go free.

If you have any additional accessibility requirements or questions, please contact Stardome directly.
