Herschel Museum of Astronomy

Join Bath Astronomers with the kids and perhaps whole family for activities and maybe some prizes. All welcome.
The friendly team of astronomers will celebrate our nearest star on Sunday 25th August alongside the Herschel Museum of Astronomy, and the Herschel Society on Milsom Street junction with New Bond Street.
The day long celebration will include Sun and space related crafts for all the family, safe solar viewing, and a little fun science.
Supported by Bath Business Improvement District (BID), we’ll set up gazebos and tables on Milsom Street.
Please note that this has already taken place on 25/08/2024
