Space Store is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its flagship store at 118 Covered Market, Oxford (OX1 3DZ), marking a landmark moment in making space exploration accessible, exciting, and tangible for everyone.
Alongside the store’s launch, Space Store is debuting another immersive experience: Mission to the Moon — an escape-room-inspired lunar adventure combining virtual reality, replica space suits, and a mystery artefact discovery.
A New Kind of Space Experience on the High Street
Space Store Oxford is on a mission to bring the wonder of space directly to the public. Nestled in the heart of one of Britain’s most iconic markets, the store represents a bold new vision: a place where curiosity meets cutting-edge technology, and where visitors of all ages can step into the shoes of an astronaut.
“We believe space should be for everyone,” said Laksh Sethi, Head of Operations at Space Store. “Opening in Oxford, a city which is synonymous with discovery and innovation, it feels like the perfect launchpad for what we’re building! Our Mission to the Moon experience is just the beginning.”

- SpaceX-inspired Replica Astronaut Suits — suit up in authentic-style space suits for an unforgettable photo opportunity
