Chichester's Tim Peake To Bring His UK Tour To Sussex

Friday, 1 July 2022 10:05

Chichester's very own astronaut, Tim Peake, will be bringing his extraordinary space stories to two Sussex venues this year.

Peake spent six months aboard the International Space Station in 2015, becoming the first Briton to become an ESA (European Space Agency) Astronaut.

While he was there, orbiting earth, he also became the first person to run a marathon in space.

Now Tim is bringing stories of his thrilling experiences to local theatres all over the UK.

With photographs and footage of his time at the space station, Tim will reveal what it's really like to train as an astronaut and be launched into space as well as speaking on the science and everyday wonders of how and why humans journey into space.

Tim's second tour date on September at Bexhill-on-Sea's De La Warr Pavilion has already sold out, as have his two dates at Chichester Festival Theatre in November, however, two more dates in Chichester, scheduled for March 4, will go on sale on September 10.
