Institute of Astronomy - Public

The Institute of Astronomy is open to the public every Wednesday evening 7 - 9pm between October and March. Entrance is free, and there is no need to book (unless your group has more than 15 people). Each evening consists of a 30 minute public talk about astronomy, followed by (weather dependent) stargazing!

We are able to accept bookings for community groups to visit the Institute. The visit would consist of an age-appropriate astronomy talk, followed by either some stargazing (weather dependent!), or a tour of our antique telescopes. We are happy to accommodate earlier visits for younger groups of cubs or brownies.
