Friday 23rd January 2026 from 17:30pm to 18:45pm
Leek Wootton Village Hall
Warwick Road, Leek Wootton, Warwickshire, CV35 7RB, West Midlands
Join us for an entertaining evening among the stars where Dr Sarah Crick from Mission Astro and Jordan Mansfield from NOVA Stargazing join forces to bring you the best the universe has to offer.
Kicking off with a quiz to win a mega astro prize, Sarah will dazzle with her space expertise and deliver an interesting, entertaining and interactive short talk about the mystical icy moon Enceladus and share some of its secrets.
After yummy cake and a hot drink to warm us up, the activities will begin! From night sky treasure hunts, to electrifying team competitions, to giant space-mosaic making, to ‘ask an astronomer’ question sessions, to hands-on STEM activities, we have plenty of opportunities for fun, laughter and science exploration.
