A VIRTUAL reality experience will enable visitors to immerse themselves in the prehistoric world while the cosmic experience of Stonehenge is explored in the pop-up planetarium.
English Heritage and the University of Cambridge will bring together leading researchers and experts from across the country in a first ever Festival of Neolithic Ideas.
Head of Learning and Interpretation, Dr Dominique Bouchard said: "This is the first-time leading researchers from more than a dozen organisations have come together at Stonehenge to share ideas with the public.
"Thanks to recent technological advancements, we can now gain unprecedented insights into the lives of the builders of Stonehenge. From radiocarbon dating and ancient DNA analysis to astronomy and laser scanning, STEM (Science, technology, engineering or mathematics) illuminates prehistoric daily life for us.”

There will also be the chance to watch the techniques involved in bronze casting, find out what clues and signals are locked within teeth, bones, plants, and clay.
Visitors can also discover how ancient DNA, isotopes and geophysics help archaeologists to keep on making new discoveries.
The Festival of Neolithic Ideas offers the chance to engage with prehistory and takes place at Stonehenge on November 11 and November 12 from 10am to 5pm with the last entry at 3pm.
