Explorer Dome Lands at the Blakehay!

This October half-term, step inside the awe-inspiring Explorer Dome and join us for a whole day of science magic at the Blakehay!

We’ve got five incredible live shows — from epic space adventures to mind-blowing bubble tricks — perfect for curious minds of all ages.
