About Venue

Located on the edge of the South Downs National Park just outside Winchester, Winchester Science Centre is one of the UK's most unique event venues, combining immersive technology, interactive exhibition spaces and the country's largest standalone Planetarium to create an unforgettable setting for corporate events, conferences, gala dinners, product launches and exclusive celebrations.

Available for exclusive evening hire, the venue offers an inspiring environment where guests can explore hands-on exhibits, enjoy live science demonstrations and experience spectacular full-dome presentations beneath the Planetarium's 360-degree projection system.
