Contracts have now been signed and work will start on the new building at the end of August with a planned finish of late 2024, Ashfield District Council has announced
Construction work will soon start on a new Nottinghamshire planetarium and attraction. The theatre to educate people about astronomy and an associated science discovery centre will be built at Sherwood Observatory in Coxmoor Road, Sutton-in-Ashfield.
A Victorian subterranean reservoir next to the observatory will be transformed into an education and exhibition space as part of the scheme. The project's planners have said the original features of the reservoir, such as the intricate brick arches, will be kept, preserving the history of the building.
The planetarium will be built on top of the reservoir and will "immerse visitors in space with a wraparound experience", according to the council. Mansfield and Sutton Astronomical Society , who own and run the observatory, currently run outreach programmes with local schools, group visits for adult and children’s groups, public open events and night schools and the new building will allow them to expand this offering.
