Summer Solstice Weekend

Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd June, 11am – 4pm

Visit us Jodrell Bank on the 22nd or 23rd June and take part in their fun family activities celebrating the longest day of the year, the summer solstice.

They will be running a variety of hands-on activities to help you discover more about our sun, including what the sun is like inside and how it influences the seasons here on Earth.

Weather permitting, they will also be joined by Macclesfield Astronomical Society to take a closer look at the sun through their special solar telescopes (remember: never look directly at the sun, or at it through a telescope).

Price: Free with general admission
