FAQs

We have tried to include all of our FAQs here but if there’s something you don’t see – please let us know via our contact form.

Do you run workshops or opportunities to create immersive content for the dome?

We regularly host creative workshops and training sessions for artists, educators, and tech enthusiasts who want to explore immersive storytelling. Keep an eye on our events page or contact us if you’re interested in getting involved.

Is there Wi-Fi available for café visitors who aren’t co-working members?

Yes, free guest Wi-Fi is available in the café area – just ask our team for the login details when you arrive.

Are Dogs allowed in Market Hall?

Yes of course! Dogs are welcome throughout Market Hall, except the Dome (however Guide Dogs and Assistance Dogs are welcome inside the Dome).

We kindly ask they remain on lead and are well-behaved.

Is there a programme or calendar for upcoming dome shows and events?

We update our programme regularly, and you can find upcoming shows on our website’s “What’s On” page or by subscribing to our newsletter. New events are usually announced a few weeks in advance.

Can I bring my own food and drinks into the Market Hall or the dome?

We ask visitors to enjoy food and drinks in the café and not inside the dome to keep the space clean and safe. Water bottles with secure lids are usually fine for shows.

Are there any discounts or special rates for families, students, or group bookings?

Yes, we often provide family tickets and reduced rates for students, schools, and community groups. If you’re planning a group visit, contact us in advance to discuss the best pricing options.

Do I need to book tickets for the dome in advance, or can I buy them on the day?

Advance booking is recommended as some shows do sell out, but if seats are available, you can purchase tickets on the day from our reception team.

Are the dome screenings suitable for very young children or people sensitive to sensory experiences?

Most dome shows are family-friendly, but some include bright flashes, loud sounds, or intense motion. We recommend checking each event description for age guidance, and if you or your child are sensitive to light or sound, let our team know when booking – we often run sensory-friendly or “relaxed” sessions with gentler sound and lighting.

Are there regular public shows or educational programmes?

Schools and community groups can also book tailored shows through Eventbrite, and many of our dome offerings align with curriculum topics like space, climate, and nature.
