Stargazing Evenings at the Observatory Science Centre & Museum offer a guided night-sky experience using the site’s historic telescopes. Visitors can look for the moon, planets and deeper sky objects, with the astronomy team and experienced volunteers on hand to help make sense of what is visible overhead.
If the weather is poor, the evening still goes ahead and is replaced with a planetarium experience, talks on the night sky and opportunities to chat with astronomy experts. Booking is essential, the event runs in a relaxed free-flow format around the centre, and visitors are advised to wear warm clothing because much of the evening is spent outdoors.
Food and drinks are available to buy on site, and the venue is lit with red lights to help preserve night vision.
