In the last few years we have noticed that quite a few other "dome operators"
have started to call themselves by our name! or very similarly so beware, make sure its actually us you are booking!
However!
Ours IS THE "Original" StarDome with over 30 years of operations in the UK and Abroad
Whilst they may use our name spell and write it the same to try and drum up business, they are not us nor ever will be.
Another trusted planetarium operator was overheard to say:
"Beware of "Fly by Night" operators who promise the world and deliver nothing"
Originally established in 1994 we operate one of of the longest established mobile/travelling planetariums
and astronomy presentation businesses in the whole UK. We are based in Cambridge,
but we travel to anywhere in the whole UK
and farther by request
Beware those who copy! they will NEVER be us!
