The British Association of Planetaria Annual Conference

The British Association of Planetaria (BAP) is a group of planetarium professionals and individuals devoted to astronomy and science education. We meet each year at the BAP conference to learn about the latest developments in the field, to share knowledge/skills and to hold our AGM.

The 2025 Conference of the British Association of Planetaria will be held as an in-person conference over the weekend of the 26th - 27th September at Centre For Life, Newcastle. Registration and conference schedules will appear on these pages once confirmed. For more updates, and general announcements, members are encouraged to join the mailing list here

As an organisation we aim to promote planetaria and improve communication between like-minded people who share interests in science and astronomy. If you’re an astronomy enthusiast, a planetarium professional or are thinking about setting up a planetarium then feel free to get in touch. We’d love to hear from you.
