Woodberry Wetlands
Woodberry Down, London, London, N16 5HQ
Did you know that Harriet Tubman’s Underground Railroad song “Follow the drinking gourd” is said to be a star-map for guiding the enslaved to freedom?
This event will reflect on diversity, ethnicity and inclusion in stargazing and astronomy. Includes an exclusive guided tour after hours in the Wetlands, clear sky permitting, we’ll have a look at what’s on view.
Please note that this event has already taken place on 15/03/2022
