The Domes

We operate four mobile domes from our base in Boscombe, Dorset.

The domes can cater for a large event up to 40 people seated with special multimedia equipment and lens to provide a spectacular show for entertainment and education that only a planetarium can provide.

 

In addition we have a two special outside domes for large events and fairs available from the start of 2010.

 

Our domes are the most advanced digital domes in the country capable of showing 360 degree pictures and feature films.

 

 

The four indoor domes are different sizes and designs to fit all school and village halls. The domes are as follows:

 

1. 'Ganymede Dome', A UK-made 6 metre diameter indoor dome.

 

2. 'Europa Dome'. A US-made 6 metre diameter indoor dome.

 

3.  Two 'Lunar Domes' smaller US-made 5 metre diameter domes.

The Ganymede Dome can cater for a large event up to 40 seated people with special multimedia equipment and lens to provide a spectacular show for entertainment and education that only a planetarium can provide.

 

 

The dome itself is made of fireproof material and supports easy access for wheelchair users if required. Within the dome there is an elaborate ventilation system to ensure comfort for the audience.

 

Upon arrival at your venue the dome can be made ready for an audience within as little as 40 minutes. We can typically accommodate 50+ children up to age 7 yrs, or 40-45 aged 8 yrs and above, per presentation (if seated on floor).
