Our Story with David Attenborough

About us

Step inside a story billions of years in the making.

Market Hall is proud to present Our Story with David Attenborough, an extraordinary 50‑minute immersive film experience reimagined exclusively for Plymouth’s world‑class Immersive Dome.

Created by the award‑winning production team behind many of Sir David’s most celebrated documentaries, Our Story blends stunning real‑world natural footage, cutting‑edge animation and a powerful original score to surround audiences in the incredible tale of Earth and humankind.

Previously seen only at the Natural History Museum in London, this enhanced version has been completely reworked for Market Hall’s pioneering dome - the first of its kind in Europe. With a 360° projection system, a 19.1 spatial audio sound system and bespoke seating designed for comfort and immersion, this is a sensory experience that goes far beyond traditional cinema.

Sir David Attenborough said: “In this new immersive experience we explore two stories – the 4-billion-year epic of the Earth, and our own, relatively brief chapter, the story of humankind. These two stories are not, at this moment, aligned – but they could be. My hope is that anyone visiting the ‘Our Story’ experience will come to understand how important humanity is in writing the planet’s next chapter.”
