Bath Abbey
Cheap Street, Bath, Avon, BA1 1LT
Bath Astronomers are working with the team at Bath Abbey this Friday evening to provide two stargazing sessions on the top of the Abbey Tower.
The first tour starts at 6 pm and the second at 7 pm. Both have a duration of 1 hour.
Prebooking will open soon on Bath Abbey’s website.
You will also be treated to a private, after-hours viewing of our colourful exhibition, ‘Threads Through Creation’ by Jacqui Parkinson. Twelve enormous, embroidered silk panels explore the story of Creation.
Subject to clear skies, you’ll be guided across the Somerset skies and get to look through a high-quality telescope.
Please note that this has already taken place on 20/01/2023
