British astronaut Tim Peake will share his experiences of space travel at a show in Exeter in September.

His new tour ‘Astronauts: The Quest To Explore Space’ follows his sold-out debut ‘My Journey to Space’ which ran from 2021 to 2023.

His show includes only one touchdown in Devon - it will be at the Great Hall at Exeter University on Monday, September 2.

It will feature archive material and footage as Tim reveals what space travel is really like: from the wondrous view of Earth, living in weightlessness, the unique dangers and unexpected moments of humour, to the years of training and gruelling psychological and physical pressures an astronaut must endure.

Tim said: “I am so honoured to have experienced the wonders of space travel myself, and yet it still continues to amaze me just how much space inspires and fascinates people of all ages.

“Being able to share a small taste of what I have discovered during my time as an astronaut – from my own stories to the ground-breaking moments from the past, present and future of space exploration – The Quest To Explore Space will give space fans a unique insight into this most magical place.”

Tim Peake joined the European Space Agency (ESA) in 2009, after an 18-year career in the Army, and made history in December 2015 as the first British astronaut to visit the International Space Station.

He retired from the ESA in 2023, but has continued to work with them and the UK Space Agency as an ambassador for space to inspire young people to follow careers in science, technology, engineering and maths.
