Croydon Astronomical Society meeting
The third Friday of the month from January 2026 to December 2026
Shirley Methodist Church
Eldon Avenue, Croydon, Surrey, CR0 8SD, London
Join the welcoming members of the Croydon Astronomical Society at this regular meeting which take place on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month.
The sessions include a guest speaker presentation, often tailored towards novices. They are also a great way of meeting like-minded people and learning more about the group’s stargazing activities at their observatory.
There is no charge; however, a suggested donation of £3 helps towards costs, and refreshments are available.
