New additions in our Adventures in Time & Space, an Unofficial Doctor Who Exhibition

Posted on: 22/07/2025

Hold on to your sonic screwdrivers – Adventures in Time & Space, an Unofficial Doctor Who Exhibition at Peterborough Museum & Art Gallery, has regenerated with new artefacts, set to exterminate boredom this summer!

From today (Tuesday 22 July), two iconic characters from classic episodes have landed at the exhibition:

  • Lord Kiv, the slug-like villain from Season 23: Trial of a Time Lord
  • A Quark, one of the robotic foes first seen in Season 6, Episode 1: The Dominators

But that’s not all - on Tuesday 29 July, fans will be able to step back to 1976 with the arrival of a meticulously recreated wooden TARDIS console — just like the one used by Tom Baker’s Fourth Doctor. Brought back to life using original design blueprints, this recreation has been engineered by the talented team at ARU Peterborough’s Engineering Department, making it a truly timey-wimey addition for the exhibition.

The exhibition is open throughout the summer, with tickets priced at just £5 for adults and £3 for under 16s — proving you don’t need a time machine to find great value experiences the whole family can enjoy!

And the week just keeps getting better and better…

Doctor Who actress Sophie Aldred, aka ‘Ace’, companion to Sylvester McCoy’s Seventh Doctor — will be making a special appearance on Sunday 27 July for: Caught in Conversation: Sophie Aldred. Join Sophie as she shares stories from her time on Doctor Who and discusses her new book: ACE JACKET: The Inside Story. The session includes:

  • A live interview
  • An audience Q&A
  • A chance to purchase signed copies of the book and autographed photographs

Sessions are at 10am and 2pm and tickets are £12 per person (Entry for Adventures in Time & Space, an Unofficial Doctor Who Exhibition sold separately)

Lots of sci-fi events to enjoy right in the heart of Peterborough. Don’t blink... you might miss it!
