Priority booking for Barbican Members opens from 10am Thu 7 Dec 2023.
Tickets for this event are booked through Fane Productions’ Box Office
After multiple sell-out tours with his debut show, My Journey to Space, Tim Peake returns to venues across the UK with his hugely anticipated new show, Astronauts: The Quest to Explore Space.
With the help of extraordinary archive material and footage, matched only by his unparalleled storytelling, Tim will bring to life the awe-inspiring endeavours of those pioneering explorers we call astronauts.
There is nobody more qualified than Tim, as a longstanding European Space Agency astronaut, to celebrate the incredible achievements and historic human endeavour of space exploration.
From our first forays through to the vast potential of the future, Tim will recount stories from his own journey to space and bring to life many iconic and groundbreaking missions from the past. He’ll reveal what spaceflight is really like: from the wondrous view of Earth, living in weightlessness, the unique dangers and unexpected moments of humour, to the years of training and gruelling psychological and physical pressures an astronaut must endure.
Running time: 120 minutes, with a 20 minute interval
Presented by Fane
