Family stargazing evening at Rodington Village Hall
Friday 3rd October 2025 from 18:00pm to 20:00pm
Rodington Village Hall
Rodington, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, SY4 4QS
We’re so excited to invite you to a special evening of stargazing, activities, and tasty treats, all in support of Little Stars!
In collaboration with the brilliant team from the Shropshire Astronomical Society, this family-friendly event will feature expert talks, telescope time (weather permitting), and engaging activities for children and adults alike.
There’ll also be a bake sale and hot dogs (with vegan and vegetarian options available for both food and drink), plus plenty of other ways to support our work on the night.
Whether you’re a curious beginner or a stargazing enthusiast, it’s a chance to enjoy the night sky, have some fun, and raise money for a great cause, all at a low cost to make it as accessible as possible.
And don’t worry if the weather isn’t on our side, we’ll be undercover in Rodington Village Hall so the event will go ahead rain or shine!
