As the grand finale event of Blyth Celebrates, the free festival launched on March 5 and will run for four days.
The launch revealed a world-first moment as Luke Jerram’s Museum of the Moon and Gaia were shown together for the very first time, suspended within ORE Catapult’s vast testing facilities.
Astronaut Helen Sharman CMG OBE, the first British person in space, also spoke to local school children about life in space.
