BRITISH astronaut Tim Peake is set to return to Reading as part of his latest national tour.

Astronauts: The Quest to Explore Space is set to see Mr Peake return to stages around the country sharing his adventures as well as those of his predecessors in a celebration of space exploration.

It comes after he joined the European Space Agency (ESA) in 2009 following an 18-year career in the army.

He made history in 2015 when he became first British astronaut to visit the International Space Station.

He retired from the ESA in 2023 but has continued to work with them and the UK Space Agency as an ambassador for space to inspire young people to follow careers in science, technology, engineering and maths.

Of the upcoming show, he said: ‘It seems like yesterday I was launching to space, and I still hold the very deep honour and excitement of that day very close.

“Being able to tour the country, with a special show like The Quest To Explore Space, where I can share just a small taste of what I experienced as an astronaut, reliving my own journey and sharing stories from those groundbreaking moments in space exploration, is absolutely fantastic.

“I hope the stories I share will give people a special insight into the magic of space and continue to inspire generations of future space explorers.”

Tim Peake’s Astronauts: The Quest to Explore Space comes to Reading’s Hexagon Theatre on Tuesday, September 30.
