Sherwood Observatory and Science Discovery Centre

Sherwood Observatory Science Discovery Centre and Planetarium is an exciting development built on the site of a former Victorian reservoir, located in Nottinghamshire. Originally constructed in the 1880s as a brick-vaulted underground reservoir, this historical site has been reimagined as a state-of-the-art educational facility designed to inspire a new generation of scientists and engineers.

The Science Discovery Centre and Planetarium will serve as a hub for hands-on learning and immersive experiences in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), providing local residents—particularly young people—with the opportunities they need to explore their potential. By fostering curiosity and passion for science, the centre aims to equip visitors with the skills needed for high-skilled, high-paid careers, thereby supporting local job growth, economic prosperity, and improving life chances within the community.
