Jodrell Bank is a UNESCO World Heritage Site built around the UK's largest radio telescope, the Lovell Telescope, which collects invisible radio waves from space. The site offers hands-on activities, trails, and a Space Dome with shows and films. Current attractions include Cosmic Titans, an exploration of the quantum universe combining art and science, and live music events featuring the iconic Space Dome soundtrack. The site also hosts talks and workshops, and displays a commemorative plaque for Beagle 2, the UK's first Mars lander.
