Looking for a unique way to celebrate Valentine’s Day? Join us for an enchanting evening under the stars as we explore the night sky and take a look at the mythology and culture around the planet Venus, named for the Roman Goddess of love.
Experience the magic of the cosmos in our Space Dome, where our expert Explainers will guide you on a journey through the night sky, teaching you to navigate the stars and planets.
Weather permitting, you’ll have the chance to apply your newfound skills with some outdoor observing, and discover Jodrell Bank’s pivotal role in mapping the universe, as our team unveil the hidden secrets of the skies.
The Making Rooms will be on hand to help you create a personalized Solar Date memento, capturing the position of the planets on a special date – an ideal Valentine’s gift!
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.
Plus, enjoy delicious hot and cold drinks and sweet treats at our First Light Café – the perfect way top off your evening.
This event is recommended for adults.
Please note that 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.
