Colonel Chris Hadfield, one of the world's most renowned astronauts and explorers, has announced a new UK & Ireland tour for 2025, including a stop in London.

Audiences at “Chris Hadfield: A Journey Into the Cosmos” will experience breath-taking imagery from the James Webb Space Telescope and the International Space Station, highlighting Earth, the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

Drawing from his illustrious career, including three spaceflights, Hadfield will share gripping stories of space exploration, joy, and danger, as well as fascinating insights into cutting-edge space technologies and humanity's next steps towards settling on the Moon and Mars.
