About the event

Our astronomy volunteers will have telescopes set up for you to observe the moon, any visible planets, and other objects of interest in the night sky.

 
We can teach you about the constellations and how to recognise them and answer any questions you may have about astronomy. Our amazing volunteers will give talks throughout the evening.


Our shop will be open and our cafe will have a selection of snacks available on the evening including a variety of cake and hot & cold drinks.


Event will only be cancelled in extreme weather.
