12 LIFE ON MARS AT ROYAL OBSERVATORY GREENWICH National Geographic is to unveil the first ever Mars show home, a unique structure that will provide a fascinating glimpse of what life on the red planet could be like in a matter of decades. Open at the Royal Observatory Greenwich from 10 to 16 November, the habitat is based on extensive consultation with Royal Observatory Greenwich astronomers and Stephen Petranek, author of How We’ll Live on Mars and consultant on MARS, the compelling six-part docu-drama from the Academy Award-winning team of Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, which premieres on Sunday 13 November at 21.00 on National Geographic. Set in the year 2033, thrilling adventure-drama MARS tells the story of the first manned mission to the red planet and our attempts to colonise it. This exhilarating space odyssey is interwoven with present day documentary with space visionaries such as Elon Musk and Neil deGrasse Tyson explaining the science behind the drama, and how modern-day pioneers and technology will make the colonisation of Mars a reality. The show home will contain a transparent side section, giving visitors a slice of Mars life inside, as well as a depiction of an underground area, containing sleeping quarters, food supplies, scientific equipment and linking tunnels to other habitats. A small exhibition around the home will bring to life visions of the colony and facts about our future on Mars and the prospect of becoming a multi-planetary species. THE AGE OF THE BEARD A photographic display of magnificent examples of 19th-century facial hair and a special version of the pantomime Bluebeard are part of a new exhibition showing how men’s beards have changed throughout history. The show, hosted by the Florence Nightingale Museum, will be launched on 17 November with demonstrations of cutthroat shaving by barbers wearing Victorian costumes and a range of other themed-activities from the period. As well as the pantomime, there will be talks by experts on the history of facial hair, Victorian hair jewellery, the beards featured in the Ladybird children’s books, the health and hygiene of facial hair and why so many Victorian men sported facial hair with pride. The Florence Nightingale Museum is at 2 Lambeth Palace Road, SE1 7EW. WARNER BROS STUDIO TOUR This winter, Hogwarts in the Snow will be returning to Warner Bros. Studio Tour London. Across the festive season from Saturday 19 November until Sunday 29 January, fans will experience Christmas time at Hogwarts and discover how film-makers created fire, ice and snow that never melts as the attraction undergoes a magical makeover. Christmas trees will line the Great Hall, the Gryffindor common room will be dressed for the season and a blanket of filmmaking snow will be meticulously applied to the majestic Hogwarts castle model – all for the Hogwarts in the Snow feature. From 18 November, fans will also be able to watch the highly anticipated adventures of Magizoologist Newt Scamander, with special screenings of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. t h i s i s l o n d o n m a g a z i n e • t h i s i s l o n d o n o n l i n e
