About

Blast off into a summer of space at Lakeside Shopping Centre! Get ready for an out-of-this-world adventure filled with cosmic wonders, immersive intergalactic experiences, and fun activities that will send your imagination soaring. From 24 July until 1 September, Lakeside is your launchpad to astronomical excitement!

From a constellation of digital pledges that form a 'cosmic' wall of fame to an immersive solar experience that will transport you through time and space. This summer is set to take off like no other.

From 24 July, take a picture and make a pledge in front of the 42ft long digital mosaic and become part of a fun and interactive installation of 'planet pledges'. Then, a week later, the show begins! A stunning immersive digital exhibition lands in Lakeside, giving shoppers a beautiful perspective of space and beyond. Explore the universe and travel light years away without having to step foot off the ground.

Look up throughout Lakeside and see an array of suspended planets decorate the mall with a kaleidoscope of colours and shapes plus follow the interactive extra-terrestrial trail for a chance to win some meteoric prizes.

While you're at the centre, why not test your agility on our zero-gravity Monster Jump obstacle course in The Quay, reach for the stars on our cosmic Rock Up climbing wall, or challenge your friends to an interstellar putt-tastic mini golf adventure with Puttshack. So why not boldly go where no shopper has gone before and prepare for an out of this world adventure that will take you to infinity and beyond.

Plus, throughout the summer, watch out for exclusive space-themed food and drinks from many of Lakeside's retailers and eateries – it's going to be epic!
