The Keele Observatory at Keele University is open to the public every Tuesday evening. If the weather permits, there will be observing through their large 31cm aperture refracting telescope. If not, the observatory will still be open for a short guided tour and a chat! If you have your telescope, take it along if you need a hand with it (contact the observatory first to let them know).
These events are entirely free of charge; however, to help manage numbers booking in advance is required!
