Prepare for lift-off at W5 Late - Flight Club, a strictly adults-only, after-hours evening of fun at Northern Ireland’s award-winning science and discovery centre.
For one night only, on Friday 26 September from 7-11pm, we’re clearing the runway of kids and giving grown-ups the cockpit controls!
Climb aboard for an interactive, flight-themed night where curiosity takes wing, and imagination soars. Whether you're a high-flying adventurer or just along for the ride, come join Flight Club and experience W5 like never before — turbulence-free and strictly 18+.
Take off into an evening of sky-high excitement as you dive into the mind-bending Vortex, conquer your fear of heights on the gravity-defying Climbit, and take command of breaking news in our airwaves-ready TV studio. Reach for the skies as you construct towering skyscrapers, or test your need for speed by building race cars built for runway rivalry — and that’s just your departure gate!
With eight interactive zones, over 250 hands-on exhibits, and a full programme of activities on the night, W5 Late is your first-class ticket to a playground made for grown-ups.
And when it's time to cruise at a more relaxed altitude, make a stop at one of our fully licensed bars, where you can enjoy a glass of wine, a cold beer, or your in-flight drink of choice.
Remember... #NoKidsAllowed!

Think you’ve got what it takes to be a top pilot?
In this high-flying challenge, you’ll transform a plain sheet of paper into the ultimate flying machine. Your mission: use your creativity, inventiveness and aeronautical abilities to design, build and launch a paper plane that can fly high, travel far, and manoeuvre past obstacles.
The best pilot of the night will claim glory and win an incredible £200 flight voucher!
