Solargazing and planetarium show at Abbey Tower
Friday 11th August 2023 from 17:45pm to 20:00pm
Bath Abbey
Cheap Street, Bath, Avon, BA1 1LT
The Bath Astronomers, working in collaboration with Bath Abbey, will offer incredible views of the Sun at the top of the abbey tower and planetarium sessions on ground level.
Subject to clear skies, you’ll be guided on safely observing the Sun and get to look through high-quality telescopes. If solar gazing is impossible due to the weather, the focus will be on the tower and the bells!
Tickets for this event can be booked via Eventbrite.
Please note that this has already taken place on 11/08/2023
