The events are ticketed, and are not free, however they are great value for money. We’ll have a number of telescopes available for you to look through, all operated by our Astronomers, so you can be sure there will be something interesting to see. Whether it’s the Moon, the Planets, or some deep sky objects, if it’s there, we’ll find it for you.
