Derry~Londonderry
Our interstellar journey through the solar system began in Derry~Londonderry, home to Nerve Centre. In April 2022, we touched down for an unforgettable four weeks filled with record-breaking space adventures and out-of-this-world excitement.
The First Stop
Our sculpture trail illuminated Derry~Londonderry's River Foyle for four awesome weeks from April-May 2022. Kicking off with a weekend of epic fun across the city, from smashing a Guinness World Record to hosting some of the U.K's leading STEAM thinkers at the city's Guildhall for a conversation about all things space with designer Oliver Jeffers.
During its time in this legendary city, we hosted an epic events programme which included cycling around the solar system, a bat walk and talk in Bay Road park, sunrise yoga and so much more!
We also showed over 1500 pupils from across NI around the solar system... without ever leaving Earth.
Record Breaking Space Fun
On Saturday 23 April 2022, we made history by breaking the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people dressed as astronauts.
A stellar 716 of Derry~Londonderry's finest space enthusiasts came together at Bay Road Park for this extraordinary cosmic achievement. Watch our highlights video to relive the unforgettable moments.
