About Venue
Winchester Science Centre is the south of England’s leading science and discovery centre. It is part of the independent educational charity, Wonderseekers, who are on a mission to inspire and engage all children in science.
Host an out-of-this-world event in the UK’s largest standalone planetarium and explore two exhibition floors filled with hands-on interactives that aren’t just fun for kids! Our Winchester-based venue hire team can host team-building days, award ceremonies, gala dinners, film screenings, festive celebrations, presentations and much more.
We’re just three miles from central Winchester, less than two hours from central London and near the M3. We’ve also got plenty of free parking.
Hire the Science Centre exclusively for your event. Our Planetarium has a seated capacity of 168 theatre-style, with a small stage, 360° digital screen, and full sound, lighting and presentation capabilities.
The two exhibition floors have a combined capacity of 1,000 for a standing reception, which includes a central presentation area (Science Live). This can be used for presentations, live demonstrations, and also features a mezzanine-style viewing area – fully equipped with sound and lighting.
We can also host gala dinners for up to 250 guests in this unique space, set amongst our hands-on exhibits and Explorer: Space gallery.
