Winchester Science Centre & Planetarium
Telegraph Way, Winchester, Hampshire, SO21 1HZ
Join us for an immersive evening at the Winchester Science Centre. This event will include a planetarium show, stargazing, storytelling and a chance to meet and find out more about some of our most iconic nocturnal wildlife.
This is an exciting opportunity for a family Astro adventure. Begin your Night Sky Live adventure in the Planetarium with a passionate Astro-expert presenter from Explorer Dome. Learn the skills you’ll need to identify what’s above us before following the stargazing host outside into the South Downs National Park. It’s the perfect spot to observe the stars, constellations and planets.
This event is part of the South Downs Dark Skies Festival 2023.
