Astronomer Richard Darn joins us with a guide to the night sky. We’ll have the waxing moon over in the West, and a sky adorned with the glittering stars of late Winter and early Spring. Using Binoculars and Telescopes, we’ll unlock some of the treasures of the cosmos. Tickets are strictly limited and are £20 per person, which includes a Hot Pot supper from The King’s Head.
