Stargazing

Join us for a magical evening of stargazing here at Jodrell Bank.

The evening will start with a journey through space in our incredible Space Dome learning how to navigate the skies and locate the stars. You’ll be able to get hands on with telescopes, binoculars and planispheres and will be taught how to use the different tools. Weather permitting you’ll be able to put all you’ve learnt into practice outside to observe the night sky. We will be joined by a guest speaker bringing you up-to-date information of what’s going on in the cosmos. Along with Jodrell Bank’s own team, Macclesfield Astronomical Society will be on hand and will be happy to answer any questions you have. Feel free to bring along your own telescopes.

Our stunning First Light Café will be open an hour before the event start time serving hot drinks and tasty treats.

Please note, observing the night sky is weather permitting.

Start times differ for each event; Saturday 28 January, 19:00 – 21:00 and Saturday 25 March, 20:00 – 22:00.

This event is suitable for adults and young people 14+.
