11:00 – 16:00

Discover Bedford’s airship story in this free pop-up experience that features Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality technology.
Step inside history and explore what it was like to design, fly, and investigate these incredible engineering feats.
Expect to:
- Explore a multi-room immersive airship gallery
- Step back in time with Virtual Reality into human scale physical environments
- Interact with 3D models and the stories behind them as Augmented Reality
- Access to a selection of archive, experimental, instructional and generative AI films.
To make the most of this new and exciting experience and to avoid having to wait on the day (we have a limited number of headsets), we highly recommend booking a slot in advance!
