The iconic Lovell Telescope has long-been a gateway to understanding the universe, and now it’s your turn, as Astro Nights to Jodrell Bank return this winter.

Begin the evening in the immersive Space Dome, seeing planets and other cosmic phenomena up close as the Jodrell Bank team introduce the many ways people have charted and understood the skies throughout history.

Next, become an astronomer yourself by getting practical experience with a selection of telescopes, binoculars and planispheres! With help from the team and weather permitting, apply your newfound skills and knowledge to tracing constellations, stars and far-off galaxies – what will you discover?

Due to the popularity of these events, we recommend booking early to secure your spot. Get ready to explore the wonders of the galaxy at Jodrell Bank, and don’t miss the chance to view our stunning new Astronomy Photographer of the Year Exhibition, included with your ticket.

Don’t forget to stop by the First Light Café where you can enjoy a delicious selection of drinks and sweet treats – truly the icing on the cake!

Please note the observing the night sky is weather permitting, and appropriate clothing is recommended. If weather conditions are poor, alternative activities will be on offer and the event will happen as scheduled. Tickets are non-refundable.

This event is recommended for those aged 14+, and any person aged under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. For child-friendly events, please visit Astro Night – Kids!

Price: 22.50

Concessions: 18.50
