What's On

We hold events and provide educational workshops to educate, inspire and excite others.


Whether you prefer a night of casual stargazing or an entertaining talk from UK Astronomy founder, Ross Hockham BCAe, there are a range of events to suit your needs.


TGP NOMINAL Podcasts
Blast off into the podisphere with TGP NOMINAL, your monthly look at all things science fact & science fiction. TGP NOMINAL is brought to you by the creative force behind the European Podcast Award nominated, The Garbage POD (TGP) podcast. We launched Episode 1.1 of TGP NOMINAL to coincide with World Space Week 2014 and it proved to be a success with the visitors to the World Space Week website.

Photo Competition
Every year in November we run a photo competition. It's completely free to enter but only one picture per person is allowed. There are a total of twelve categories which will be announced on our Facebook group. The idea is to get you out looking up, trying different things, learning about astrophotography and having fun.

Mobile Observatory
Bringing the skies to you. With the Space Crafter, we are able to host stargazing evenings in the local area and once lockdown guidance relaxes further, educational events with the National Trust, Parks Trust, local councils, and schools. It will allow the charity to travel far and wide with specialist stargazing equipment.
