Ramsgate Royal Esplanade
Westcliff Promenade, Ramsgate, Kent, CT11 0HE
Join Tom and Paul from the Monkton Stargazers who will bring their super amazing telescopes to the Royal Esplanade to observe the waxing crescent moon. Also, there will be a Moon quiz with the chance to win a free drink from the Boating Pool bar. Around the world, people will be celebrating ‘On the Moon again’ which is an idea inspired by French scientists. () It was 50 years ago in December that the last human walked on the Moon but we hope that in the next few years humans will walk on the Moon again.
Please note that this has already taken place on 08/07/2022
