Somerset Levels Stargazers Monthly Meeting
Wednesday 24th February 2021 from 20:00pm to 20:00pm
Othery Village Hall
Fore Street, Othery, TA7 0QU
Everyone with an interest in astronomy is invited to attend this regular monthly meeting of Somerset Levels Stargazers which takes place every last Wednesday of each month (except December).
The location at Othery Village Hall makes for a great stargazing location due to it benefitting from dark, rural skies. Each meeting includes a variety of talks and presentations with observing afterwards if weather permits.
No booking is required and there’s a small charge on the door to include hot drinks. This is a great opportunity to get away to a dark sky site with some friendly astronomers and go stargazing!
Please note that this event has already taken place on 24/02/2021
