The land was purchased by the society in 2014, funds were secured from government in partnership with Ashfield District Council and the £5 million project is now ready to go. The planetarium itself features 59 seats, from which visitors can watch 4K images of space projected onto a giant, 10-metre screen which shrouds the dome-shaped structure.
