Andy hold's a current
"Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service certificate"
All forms are available for
inspection at any time during the visit
Andy is a very popular speaker and as such works not only in the UK
but abroad too so he may not always be available for your event.
Where possible we will have someone to answer your call or email in the UK but if you do not get a response within a couple of days then the chances are he is already lecturing away which could mean abroad.
We also carry valid equipment insurance
and £5 Million in public liability insurance
StarDome's equipment is regularly checked
by qualified electrical engineers and is "PAT" tested annually.
A certificate can be provided if required.
StarDome has some clients who book up to 18 months in advance for certain dates.
Some have even started to book us 2 years in advance to secure their preferred dates.
Feel free to contact us with your choices of dates and we will endeavor to accommodate you.
For UK National Science Week each year we are usually booked up a year in advance once the dates are announced so make sure you get in with your inquiry & booking early to secure any
dates you require
StarDome is available for most events so please call to discuss
Have you booked us?
There is a way to check you have !
You will be given a special booking reference which is only given by us & this means you will get "us" and not another company using the "StarDome" name
We have been in business as
"StarDome"
for more than 28 years!
We also have a "unique to us" StarDome check list and our terms and conditions booking form will be sent to you once your booking is confirmed. This way you know and we know it is actually us you are getting and not someone else who sees fit to use our name.
OUR PAYMENT TERMS ARE ON THE DAY OF THE VISIT OR AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE
NOTE - if you book StarDome and we arrive to find the hall or room is too small, then you will be liable for
the full invoice amount. Payment is preferred and appreciated on the day of the visit,
where this is not possible you must inform us at the time of booking
YOU MUST ALSO INFORM US IF THE LEA or LOCAL AUTHORITY IS PAYING FOR YOUR VISIT
AND SEND US THE CORRECT FORMS TO FILE
PAYMENT IS PREFERED BY BACS BUT WE ALSO ACCEPT CHEQUES
We can provide you with our National Insurance Number and
Self Employment Number if required at the time of booking and it is always on our invoice
NO VAT IS PAYABLE ON A STARDOME VISIT
If any extra shows are required during the day or in the evening then an additional presentation fee will be charged
StarDome does not "usually" require deposits
or any pre-payment
HOWEVER:
In some circumstances for Primary Academy operated schools we have had no alternative but to introduce advanced invoicing
!PLEASE NOTE!
Regardless of presentation length
HALF DAY bookings constitute up to 3 shows maximum
FULL DAY bookings are for up to 4-7 shows maximum
6 - half hour morning or afternoon shows
DO NOT
constitute a half day booking!
Full day rate is payable after 3 shows to a maximum of 7
Number of Shows - Our flexible approach
If you require more than 6 shows in the day (Some schoold now have 7 classes) please let us know at the time of inquiry/booking and we can discuss further. We know some schools now have 7 classes and its a shame for one or 2 classes to miss out on the StarDome experience.
We are flexible in our approach in these circumstances. Pricing options will be discussed at the time of booking for extra shows.
A rate discount will be offered for those clients who book the planetarium for 3 or more consecutive days
Call us or email us to discuss pricing
