The Armchair Astronaut is pleased to announce it's next public Astronaut event. Our Spring Space Social 2026 brings together space enthusiasts across all ages, backgrounds and professions, all united in our passion for space!Saturday 7th March 2026
Mitchell Hall, Cranfield, Bedfordshire, UK
Guest Speaker: Chris Sembroski
Chis has a unique story and will be sharing it live in the UK for the very first time. Representing the pillar of Generosity, Chris spent 3 days in space during the SpaceX Inspiration4 mission in 2021; the world's first all-civilian orbital spaceflight.
Chris will be joining us for a day of interactive events including meet & greet, lecture presentation, autographs, VIP audience with dinner, and more!
For anyone that has not attended one of our public events before, we focus on smaller audience capacity, maximum 200 people, for a more intimate and better guest experience. Our VIP dinner provides further opportunity to mingle with like-minded enthusiasts over a 3-course dinner, and spend more time with our Astronaut guest who will speak again and answer more of your questions.
These public events help us to fund our educational outreach projects which includes taking a coach full (50+) primary school children from disadvantaged areas to the National Space Centre (or other UK space attraction) for the day. We join them providing a personalise tour and talks not only about space and the exhibits, but also how they can change their stars and work towards a future career in the space industry.
Tickets now available online.
