MOON FESTIVAL

Celebration, science and sprituality come together during this extraordinary evening inspired by the Chinese Moon Festival. Listen to live Chinese music from the Jasmine Moon Ensemble, be transported into space during a series of hypnotic lunar movies, including A Trip to the Moon by French ‘Cinemagician’ Georges Melies, follow our fascinating Moon in art gallery trail, and hear some intriguing scientific facts about the moon from an astronomer. Completely out of this world…

Delicious moon-cakes and plum wine will be served.

Dress code: Inspired by the moon.

£5. Booking advisable.
