Join the OM Dark Sky Observatory team for a tour through outer space. Take a closer look at our Sun, Moon and all the planets in the solar system, then whizz through the galaxy and find the most unusual (and funniest!) looking objects in the night sky. We’ll also have some crafts activities for you to paint, draw and create your space-themed art. These sessions occur on the last Sunday of each month.
Please note that this has already taken place on 31/03/2024
