Information - Exhibition: The Moon: Meet our Nearest Neighbour

Humans have gazed up at the Moon for millennia, now you can come a little closer to our nearest neighbour this summer at The Hold in Ipswich.

Discover the science and mythology of the moon, re-live historic moments in lunar discovery, and encounter astonishing objects including real touchable Moon rock in this touring exhibition by Bespoke Scientific.

Explore how the moon influences our natural environment from tides and seas to night time animals. Understand how the Space Race unfolded and the key moments of the 1969 moon landing.

Marvel at a large-scale solar system installation suspended above your heads and understand our place in the universe.

Explore Suffolk space stories including Alice Grace Cook, a pioneering female astronomer from Stowmarket. Unpack the legend of the Rendlesham UFO and get involved with local astronomical groups to understand how you safely observe the night skies closer to home.
Set off on an out of this world adventure to the moon and back this summer.

Prebook and get 15% off in our cafe with your sticker.

Pride in Place

You Don’t Need To Be An Expert To Get Involved In Pride in Place

One of the biggest misconceptions about community projects is that they're only for people with impressive CVs, professional backgrounds or years of experience sitting on committees. The Pride in Place programme - a government investment for Whitehouse and Stoke Park/Chantry of £20m into each area over 10 years - is trying to change that.
