Flag Fen Astronomy Evenings

Flag Fen Astronomy Evenings are monthly in-person sessions that invite visitors to explore the night sky from the fenland landscape. Each session combines a guided night sky tour and informal talk, helping participants identify constellations, planets and other celestial features as they appear overhead.

The experience includes telescope viewing, with the chance to observe the Moon, Jupiter and selected deep-sky objects when visible. The sessions are designed to be welcoming for complete beginners, with no experience or equipment needed, while still offering plenty of interest for more experienced stargazers.

They are led by Dean Watson, who brings practical observational astronomy expertise and extensive telescope experience.
