The immersive Planetarium Go experience will make its UK debut at Battersea Power Station in early 2026, running from late January through February.

Various listings have reported slightly different date ranges for the event, with some citing January 29 to February 28, 2026, while others list January 30 to March 1, 2026.

Planetarium Go, recognized as a touring mobile planetarium operator, has partnered with Battersea Power Station to bring this state-of-the-art sky show to London visitors.

Experience the cosmos in London as Planetarium Go brings its acclaimed mobile astronomy shows to Battersea Power Station’s event spaces.

The venue’s management has officially confirmed the event, with ticketing and scheduling information available through Battersea Power Station’s visitor services. CEO José Jiménez has emphasized the organization’s dedication to bringing science to various locations through these engaging planetarium experiences.

The technical setup will likely include a full-dome 360-degree projection system with immersive visuals and surround sound, creating a realistic stargazing environment inside the portable dome. Content will focus on astronomy presentations, including constellation tours, planetary visuals, and narrated cosmic journeys suitable for general audiences.

The mobile format allows for an intimate viewing experience, with capacity likely following typical mobile planetarium limits of 20-60 visitors per session. Visitors will be surrounded by a large spherical dome that creates an unparalleled sense of immersion in the cosmos.

This commercially produced attraction targets families, school groups, and general visitors interested in astronomy and immersive experiences. The pop-up nature of the installation makes it distinct from traditional fixed planetariums, offering the Power Station’s visitors a unique opportunity to explore the cosmos without visiting a dedicated science center.

Visitors can expect to watch high-resolution 360° projections of captivating 20-30 minute science films covering various cosmic subjects.

Tickets will be required for entry, with multiple show times scheduled throughout each day of operation to maximize accessibility for different visitor schedules.
