Summary
- A mobile planetarium called Planetarium Go! is coming to Northampton.
- It will be located in the town's Market Square from May 29 to June 21.
- The attraction aims to boost the local economy and attract families.
Northampton's Market Square is set to host an immersive cosmic experience with the arrival of Planetarium Go! from May 29 to June 21. This mobile planetarium will allow visitors to explore the wonders of the universe inside a large spherical dome.
This visit marks the final stop on the attraction's tour, following previous engagements in London, Sheffield, Hull, and Manchester. The initiative is anticipated to invigorate the local economy by drawing families and visitors to the town centre.
Officials highlighted the event as a key strategy to increase footfall and spending, supporting local businesses and fostering community pride. The attraction is also designed to complement existing market offerings and provide educational engagement for schools and families.
Northampton was selected for its central UK location and its Market Square, which offers an ideal setting for such an immersive attraction. The square, which reopened in September 2024 after a £13.5 million renovation, has already hosted successful events.
