Astronaut Tim Peake is set to take audiences on a journey through the history of space exploration.

He will visit Salisbury as part of his tour Astronauts: The Quest To Explore Space, arriving at City Hall on October 2.

Mr Peake, who became the first British astronaut to visit the International Space Station (ISS) in 2015, said: "It’s like the greatest hits of space exploration, with amazing footage and behind-the-scenes stories of what it’s really like to leave our planet."

"This tour is fast-paced, fun and entertaining," he said. "It showcases the extraordinary endeavour of human spaceflight; the excitement, the drama, the highs and lows, right from the early days of the 1950s, through to the current Artemis program to return to the Moon, and beyond that to the first human mission to Mars."

Mr Peake spent six months living and working in space, completing a spacewalk and even running a marathon.

His tour, which debuted in autumn 2024, follows his previous live show My Journey To Space, which ran from 2021 to 2023.

Tickets for Astronauts: The Quest To Explore Space are available now from nothird.co.uk/tim-peake or direct from venues.
