Product information, press images, review samples and the story behind a British family business selling land on the Moon since 2000.
For the person who has everything, an acre on the Moon is unlikely to be a duplicate.
Moon Estates offers personalised lunar land gifts from £29, including standard UK delivery. Each includes a deed bearing the recipient’s name and individual plot number, a map showing their lunar location and accompanying documents.
For journalists covering gifts, space or unusual businesses, there is more than the product itself: a launch that made international headlines, distribution through major British retailers and a family business now run by its founders’ daughter.
£29
Personalised documents in a presentation folder, including standard UK delivery. An unusual gift for under £30.
£99
Personalised documents in a lidded gift box, including standard UK delivery.
£250
Personalised documents in a ribbon-tie presentation case, including standard UK delivery.
The range suits birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and Christmas, whether the recipient is a space enthusiast or simply difficult to buy for.
For an additional £5, buyers can add a personalised video announcement featuring the recipient’s name, their own message and the allocated plot number.
The announcement can be scheduled for a chosen date and time, making it possible to reveal the gift from a distance or send it while the physical documents follow by post.
In September 2000, a British family business offered the world something few people had considered buying: land on the Moon. Hundreds of media reports followed in a single day, with founder Francis Williams appearing live on Channel 4 News alongside Sir Patrick Moore.
Moon Estates gifts subsequently reached the shelves of WHSmith and Tesco, taking lunar land onto the British high street. Giving someone land on the Moon became a household concept, even featuring as a gift between characters in Coronation Street.
Founded by Francis and Sue Williams, Moon Estates is now run by their daughter, Angela Young. Redesigned deeds and packaging, a new website and personalised video announcements mark the next chapter for the business, more than a quarter of a century after its launch.
