Explore the wonders of the winter night sky. Our astronomy experts will take you on a whistle stop tour of the universe on the big screen. You'll learn about stars, planets and galaxies and our place in the universe.
Then, weather permitting, we will head outside and get hands-on using telescopes and binoculars to go in search of sparkling star clusters, distant galaxies and some giant planets.
Most suitable for adults and children over 12. Those with children under 12 are recommended to join us for the family-orientated session taking place earlier in the evening (see separate event listing).
Please note if the weather is poor or cloudy the event will still go ahead. Our astronomers will instead take more time to take you on a virtual tour of the universe on the screen!
