Immersive Experiences

🌟 TRIPLE HAF DAY! 🌟

What a day we have ahead! 🚀☀️🧪

Today our teams are out delivering THREE incredible HAF programmes, bringing hands-on science, discovery and immersive learning to children across our communities!

🌌 Immersive Planetariums – blasting off across the universe
☀️ Solar Workshops – exploring our incredible Sun and the skies above us
🧪 Slime Science – messy, hands-on science that children absolutely LOVE!

And because today is extra special… 😎☀️

We’re giving away HUNDREDS of solar viewing glasses to some very lucky children, giving them the chance to safely experience and explore the skies for themselves!

For us, HAF is about so much more than keeping children busy during the holidays. It’s about creating memorable experiences, inspiring curiosity and giving children access to exciting STEM opportunities they may never have experienced before.

Hundreds of children.
Three HAF programmes.
Planetariums. Solar science. Slime.
And a LOT of very excited young scientists! 🚀🔭🧪

Another huge day for the Immersive Experiences team! ❤️

From Immersive Vision... to Immersive Reality.

Every incredible immersive experience begins as an idea.

A sketch. A concept. A dream to create something that has never existed before.

What starts as a steel framework soon becomes a breathtaking venue, where cutting-edge projection technology transforms a simple dome into a limitless world of discovery.

From engineering and fabrication to projection mapping and immersive storytelling, every stage brings us one step closer to creating unforgettable experiences.

Whether it's transporting audiences beneath the stars, placing them on a racetrack, diving beneath the ocean, or exploring worlds beyond imagination, we're passionate about turning ambitious visions into reality.

At Immersive Dome Experiences, we don't just build domes—we create destinations that inspire, educate and amaze.

What immersive vision would you bring to life?

52 children from Northern Ireland special schools took part in our Lightyear Lab programme as part of our STEM Horizons project.

“This was our first time engaging with the Lightyear Lab. The instructor was friendly and informative, teaching the pupils lots of facts about electricity, motion, and friction. Pupils thoroughly enjoyed each session and spoke to other pupils about their experience. The instructor used language that engaged the pupils at every level“ Teacher

“I would like to do it again“ Student

74% of students learned something new and 70% want to learn more science

“It was relaxing and calming, I felt like an astronaut in space!“ Student

Following the visits 87% want to learn more science
