Pictures have given a first glimpse into the new heritage attraction set to open at Jodrell Bank later this week. The highly anticipated First Light Pavillion, forming as part of the £21.5m First Light Project which is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, will give the public the chance to discover the history behind the Jodrell Bank story.
The new visitor centre is within a grass-covered dome, and is said to 'firmly establish the Jodrell Bank site', part of The University of Manchester, as a major UK cultural destination. The centre is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a globally significant scientific research facility.
The museum and gallery opens to the public later this week, on June 4, with the official opening event on 21 June. Pictures have now for the first time shown the site in all its glory ahead of its grand opening.
