BBC Studios is opening a new immersive experience inspired by Seven Worlds, One Planet and narrated by David Attenborough in London in 2023.

In partnership with Moon Eye Productions and Live Nation, BBC Studios is launching the BBC Earth Experience, a new attraction where guests will experience the world’s seven continents.

“We are delighted to partner with Moon Eye Productions and Live Nation to bring the BBC’s groundbreaking natural history content to this amazing live immersive London location for everyone to enjoy,” said Mat Way, global director of live entertainment, gaming and interactive at BBC Studios.

Seven Worlds, One Planet

BBC Earth Experience will use music and footage from Seven Worlds, One Planet, BBC One’s most-watched factual TV show of 2019.

Per a news release, more than 1,500 people worked on the award-winning series, which involved 92 shoots across 41 countries.

“At Moon Eye Productions our aim is to create new experiences that leave guests ‘moon-eyed’ in wonder,” said Frederik van Alkemade, chief creative officer for Moon Eye Productions.

“Utilising the best natural history series in the world, courtesy of BBC Studios, we knew we could create our first immersive event to achieve our goal.”

The upcoming attraction will be located in the Daikin Centre, a purpose-built and demountable venue in London’s Earl’s Court.

“Working with the BBC Studios team to transform the content into a 360-degree audio visual spectacle and Sir David Attenborough to narrate has been a privilege and we are proud to present BBC Earth Experience,” added Van Alkemade.

BBC Earth Experience opens on 30 March 2023 and runs through 31 July. Tickets will go on sale from 10am on 2 December 2022.

Earlier this year, the BBC launched three online exhibitions – 100 Objects, 100 Faces and 100 Voices – to mark its 100th birthday and tell the story of “a century of broadcasting”.
