Silver Screen Science-Fiction Presents... Lilo & Stitch
'Ohana' means 'family'. 'Family' means 'no one gets left behind'.
Things are looking bleak for Nani Pelekai (Tia Carrere, Wayne's World) and her younger sister Lilo (Daveigh Chase, Spirited Away) - orphaned at a young age, struggling to get by, and now a social worker is threatening to take Lilo into foster care. But when the pair adopt a pet dog Stitch, who is actually a genetically altered creature from another planet, their world is about to be turned upside-down - not least because someone wants Stitch back...
Join the astronomers of the Royal Observatory Greenwich as they show one of their favourite science-fiction movies in the unique venue of the Peter Harrison Planetarium. Come before the film for a series of science demos and the chance to ask our astronomers all of your questions about space and astronomy.

Important information
Doors, the café and the science demos will open at 5.45pm.
The film will begin at 6:30pm with an expected end time of 8:15pm. Latecomers will be allowed admission into the film.
This film is rated U.
As this event will take place partly outside of Greenwich Park's opening hours, access to the site will be restricted. If you arrive before the park closes at 8pm then you can access the Observatory as normal. If arriving after this time, the park will only be accessible via St Mary's Gate in the northwestern corner of the park.
At the end of the event, exiting the Park, whether on foot or by car, will only be possible via St Mary's Gate at the northwestern end of the Park. As pedestrian access through the park is not permitted after closing time, pedestrians will be ferried to the gate via a minibus.
Please be aware that the minibus is not wheelchair accessible. If you have any concerns or need to make alternate arrangements, please contact Bookings at bookings@rmg.co.uk or call our Bookings team on 0208 312 6608.
Detailed access instructions will be attached with your ticket and are downloadable below. Please familiarise yourself with these instructions before travelling to the site.

Similarly, when the event ends, leaving the Park by car can only be completed via St Mary's Gate. See the access instructions above or attached to your ticket for more details.
I'm planning to walk/take public transport to this event. How do I get in after the Park has closed?
