Spring Stargazing at Sherwood Forest
Saturday 9th April 2022 from 19:00pm to 21:30pm
Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre
Edwinstowe, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, NG21 9RN
Join the team from RSPB Sherwood Forest for an evening of talks, demonstrations and exhibits by the incredibly knowledgeable team from Mansfield and Sutton Astronomical Society.
While stargazing is the highlight of these events, our great British weather may let us down but rest assured that you will have a great evening whatever the weather with the help of the experienced and passionate astronomers of the MSAS team.
Not suitable for under 8’s (anyone under 18 will need to be accompanied by a paying adult).
There will be tea and coffee available free of charge during the break.
Please note that this event has already taken place on 09/04/2022
