Calling all budding astronomers! Join us for a special Moonwatch night delivered by Jodrell Bank Centre for Engagement.

You’ll be able to get hands on with telescopes and binoculars as you learn about the lunar cycle and features to look out for. Find out about Jodrell’s role tracking the Space Race and what space exploration tells us about the Moon’s history.

Please come wrapped up warm for outdoor observing and note that observing is dependent on clear skies.

£4.00 (Suitable for families, children 11 yrs+ and adults)

There is no parking at the church and the surrounding roads are unsuitable for event parking.

The nearest public car park is Tape Street, Cheadle, ST10 1EU.
