Tim Peake Brings Space Adventure to Eastbourne This Month

British astronaut Tim Peake is set to land in Eastbourne this autumn with his brand-new live show Astronauts: The Quest to Explore Space.

The show comes to the Congress Theatre on Thursday 11 September at 7.30pm, promising an evening of awe and wonder as Tim shares the past, present and future of human space exploration.

Using rare archive footage, he will bring to life the adventures of astronauts and recount his own experiences – from launching into orbit to living aboard the International Space Station.

Tim said:

“It seems like yesterday I was launching to space, and I still hold the very deep honour and excitement of that day very close.

"I hope the stories I share will give people a special insight into the magic of space and continue to inspire generations of future explorers.”

The show follows the huge success of his sold-out debut tour My Journey to Space, which ran from 2021 to 2023.

Tim joined the European Space Agency in 2009 after 18 years in the Army and made history in 2015 as the first British astronaut to visit the International Space Station.

Since retiring from ESA in 2023, he has continued to inspire young people as an ambassador for the UK Space Agency.

Expect stories of breathtaking views of Earth, the realities of weightlessness, the gruelling training astronauts must endure – and even moments of unexpected humour in space.

📍 Astronauts: The Quest to Explore Space comes to the Congress Theatre, Eastbourne, on 11 September at 7.30pm.
