Space for Everyone arrives in Leicester

Hundreds of people flocked to the National Space Centre in Leicester last weekend to enjoy a cosmic celebration of the UK’s remarkable achievements in space.

Using space to boost education was an important objective of the festival.

The UK Space Agency’s Space for Everyone tour – which has been making its way across the country – arrived at the National Space Centre to showcase the space industry and the diverse array of career and learning opportunities available to young people.

The tour brought with it a 20-metre replica of the LauncherOne rocket that took off from Spaceport Cornwall in January.
