About Winchester Science Centre And Planetarium
A science discovery centre in a pyramid building on the eastern edge of Winchester, run by the education charity Wonderseekers, that hires out its 168-seat domed Planetarium for presentations and the whole centre (up to 600 guests) for conferences, awards and receptions. It suits an out-of-the-ordinary conference, launch or evening networking event, with optional science demos and team-building workshops; café catering or outside caterers. Free parking on site.
When you arrive
The way in: Main visitor entrance of the pyramid building, reached from the car park off Telegraph Way
