Further Stargazing events
Despite the poor weather, our 3 BBC Stargazing LIVE events were a massive success. In total, we had 500 members of public come along to see the wonders of the night sky.
Unfortunately, the official BBC Stargazing events have now finished. However, such has been the interest from the public that the Astronomy Section of the NNHS is already planning our next public stargazing events. In March, we will be holding "Mondays in March" stargazing events at Delapre Abbey - see map below.
Monday 19th March 7-9pm
Monday 26th March 8-9pm
We have also been asked to support the national "Museums at Night" event. On Friday 18th May, we will be at Sulgrave Manor with our telescopes. Further details will be announced closer to the time.
We will update this page with new events and if you would like us to get involved with one of your events, please do contact us.
