First Young Observers Night for 2025
The theme for the evening is planets.
If the weather permits we’ll spend time getting to know the night sky, with unaided eye observing as well as using telescopes.
Please book so we know you are coming and we don’t overcrowd the observatory (we have limited space).
Please remember to book a ticket for each child that is coming and the Accompanying Adult as well
thank you
