The Creepy Cosmos at Lime Tree Observatory
Saturday 26th October 2024 from 18:00pm to 20:00pm
Lime Tree Observatory and Planetarium
Lime Tree Farm, Grewelthorpe, North Yorkshire, HG4 3DA
Join the astronomers from Lime Tree Observatory and Planetarium for a spooky and magical journey through the cosmos!
Guided by your Driver Isambard, Professor LaGrange and his miserable Goblin assistant Moonlugs, you will travel to a creepy castle to learn about the heavens, and the halloween-themed real-life astronomical objects that are out there in space.
This family is a family show and not in anyway scary, and suitable for aged 5 and upwards. Halloween costumes are not essential, but are encouraged!
The show lasts about an hour, after which there will be telescope observing time outside, if the weather is good or further planetarium fun if the weather is poor.
Please note that this has already taken place on 26/10/2024
