Summer Activities at Bestwood - Sparkling Space Rockets

For centuries human beings have been fascinated by the mysteries of the Universe.  Join us at Bestwood Country Park this July to discover more about our solar system and the history of space travel.

  • Step inside our inflatable planetarium to learn more about space and the people who have explored it.
  • Using recycled materials, construct your very own homemade space rocket.
  • Watch your rocket fly from our purpose-built launch pads!
  • Whichever rocket flies the furthest over the three days wins a free family pass to Adventures.
  • Please note, that activities will start and end promptly at the advertised time to ensure that all attendees receive their full allocated time slot.
  •  Additionally, some of the activities will take place outside so please dress appropriately for the weather. Bestwood has its own microclimate, so it is best to prepare for all eventualities.

Three sessions on each day 10.00am - 11.30am, 12.00 - 13.30pm & 14.00pm - 15.30pm
(Each session will be the same so there is no need to book onto all three).
