Astronomy as a guest experience
The Starsmith can be offered as a recurring residency for hotels, resorts and cruise programmes looking for distinctive astronomy-led evening entertainment.
Each residency combines an engaging indoor show with optional guided stargazing when the weather and observing conditions are suitable.
This creates a dependable core experience indoors, with the added excitement of stepping outside to explore the real night sky whenever conditions allow.
Residencies can work as a seasonal attraction, a regular evening programme or a series of performances across several nights.
