OPEN EVENING 22nd September
On the 22nd September The Centre will re-open for the evening at 6.30pm. Come and take the opportunity to look through some of the country's largest telescopes at some fascinating night sky objects (weather permitting). Saturn is still in the night sky and Mars will be visible too. There is also a nice bright Moon to look at. If the weather is not suitable for viewing you will still be able to see the stars during a planetarium style show when you will be led through the night sky by a knowledgeable guide. See open evenings in the 'What's on section' for further details.
