With fewer than 650 people having reached Earth’s orbit, nobody is more qualified than Tim to celebrate the historic achievements and human endeavours of space exploration. Up until now, Tim has brought his own incredible journey to life through unparalleled storytelling and extraordinary archive footage. In this new show, Tim will share the remarkable stories of some of his fellow astronauts and explore the spectacular evolution of space travel.

From the first forays into space in the 1950s, to the first human missions destined for Mars, Tim will traverse the final frontier. As he recounts the awe-inspiring endeavours of astronauts across the ages, Tim will reveal what spaceflight is truly like: from the wondrous view of Earth, living in weightlessness, the unique dangers and unexpected moments of humour, to the years of training and psychological and physical pressures that an astronaut has to take on.

Following his sold-out success in 2024, we are delighted to announce new venues for ‘Astronauts: The Quest to Explore Space’ this Autumn. The journey has only just begun…come and join Tim for this one-of-a-kind show launching at a venue near you!

“Space has the capacity to inspire and fascinate people of all ages. It’s an honour to be able to share these unique experiences, which have forever changed how we look at the universe.” Tim Peake

"I went to the Alhambra Theatre in Dunfermline to see Tim Peake, the astronaut. Before it started, I was very excited to get a signed book by Tim which kept me busy before he started and I read when I got home.

Tim used videos, facts and jokes to teach me about life in space. The funny stories he told us made me laugh, especially the stories about going to the toilet in space. It was a bit scary how many things went wrong, and Tim told us how astronauts need to think quickly to solve problems. My favourite video was when they showed the chimpanzee in the rocket because he looked very funny.

I now want to learn so much more about space and would give the show 5 stars."
