The constellations hold secrets – ancient dramas of love, war, betrayal, triumph and tragedy – burning brighter than the stars themselves.
Join master storytellers Hugh Lupton and Daniel Morden as they breathe new life into the myths that shape our heavens. Hear the stories of Orion's hunt, the Seven Sisters, beautiful Pegasus, brave Bellerophon, the healer Asclepius and the capricious, lustful, all-powerful divinities of Mount Olympus.
Visceral, moving and profound, this exploration of the galactic pantheon of the night sky will change how you look at the stars forever.
Tickets: £10 (£8 members/concessions)
