Bespoke event experiences
From collection and exhibition tours to one-off space events with our astronomers, check out our fantastic bespoke corporate team events for unique online and offline experiences.
Private Planetarium Shows
Greenwich is home to London’s only Planetarium. Treat your guests to a private planetarium show led by one of our talented astronomers. For an additional fee guests can personalise the show and decide whether they would like to be transported to a distant planet or fly to the heart of the sun.
Booking subject to astronomer and space availability; planetarium show included in all private Peter Harrison Planetarium venue hires.
Telescope viewings with Astronomers
At the Royal Observatory we have a number of working telescopes that can be made available for guests to view and use with the guidance of one of our dedicated astronomy team. Smaller telescope or solar telescope viewings can take place on Cutty Sark’s Main Deck, the Royal Observatory’s meridian courtyard or the Museum Colonnades.
Booking subject to specific astronomer and object availability.
Onsite and Virtual Behind-the-Scenes Collections Tour
This experience offers attendees the chance to glimpse some of the 94% of our collection stored at the Prince Philip Maritime Collections Centre which isn’t on display across our museums and discover how we preserve some of our most remarkable items.
Booking subject to site and specific curator availability.
Bespoke Onsite Tours
Explore our museums outside of opening hours and discover the treasured history of each location and its collection. Interact with our most treasured artefacts and gaze upon art from artists such as Gainsborough, Rubens, Van de Veldes, Hogarth and Thornhill. Whichever venue you want to explore, allow us to make it truly memorable.
I just wanted to say a big thank you for the show last night. It was fascinating- and has even given one of our partner’s children a topic to talk about today on her school show and tell!!

Characters Actor Experiences
Character actors can welcome and entertain your guests as they bring to life the history of Cutty Sark. Let Captain Woodget or Nannie the figurehead meet and greet your guests, make a speech and conduct tours or simply have the character actors interact with your guests as part of performances and ice breakers.
Virtual Fireside Chat with Astronomers
Get exclusive access to not one but two of our expert Royal Observatory astronomers as they transport your team from the comfort of their homes to the outer reaches of our Universe. No two shows are the same and this really is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to engage with these experts.
Subject to specific astronomer availability.
Virtual Events
Looking for a way to treat your employees, bring your team together and do something different while working from home? We spanned the gap the pandemic carved through live event plans with a leap into the virtual sphere. By teaming up with our colleagues at the Royal Observatory and our collections centre in Kidbrooke, we are thrilled to offer live events for parties of 1-1,000 that take you out of this world and bring you together online.
