This September, the National Space Centre has teamed up with the RNIB for a special fundraising evening that will change your perception about how you experience food. What is it like to eat a meal without your use of sight? Will food taste different? How will your experience of food be affected? Dine In The Dark will help you answer these questions. With a specially curated five-course menu, made in partnership with locally sourced independent artisan food providers, you will be guided through the evening without the use of your sight. Volunteers from the RNIB will be leading you through each course as your taste a variety of adventurous and unusual dishes that will surprise and delight your taste buds. You will also have the opportunity to take part in a special wine-tasting experience, and follow your meal with a guided tour of our exhibitions – all without the use of sight! Prepare to have your senses heightened as you take a sensory tour through the heart of our galleries.

Dietary requirements will be catered for, and vegetarian/vegan options will be available -please inform the National Space Centre of your requirements prior to the event.
