Newbury Astronomical Society’s Astronomy for Juniors meetings offer a fun, friendly and engaging introduction to astronomy for young space explorers aged 7 to 13. Sessions are suitable for all abilities, with plenty of opportunities to learn about the wonders of space and, when skies are clear, head outside for some practical observing through telescopes.

Meetings take place on the second Tuesday of each month from September to May.
