Stargazing at the National Museum of the Royal Navy Hartlepool
Saturday 8th February 2025 from 11:00am to 21:00pm
National Museum of the Royal Navy Hartlepool
Maritime Avenue, Hartlepool, Cleveland, TS24 0XZ, North East England
Join the team from the museum on February 7th and 8th for an out-of-this-world experience with their Stargazing event! You won’t want to miss it!
We’ve teamed up with Wonder Dome to create a fantastic pop-up planetarium where you can learn all about our solar system and watch the stars at night.
Afterwards, make your way over to board HMS Trincomalee and discover how sailors would use the stars to help navigate the ocean over 200 years ago!
Tickets are £4.50 and you must have a valid NMRN ticket. Our NMRN tickets last for an entire 12 months so you can keep coming back as many times as you’d like and also have access to other incredible events like this throughout the year!
