We’ll have a range of telescopes set up and our usual team of friendly volunteers on hand to guide you through the night sky.

No booking required – just turn up.
Our viewing area on Blackheath is quite exposed, so don’t forget to wrap up warm! We recommend to wear warm head covering and gloves too.
