Everyone interested in astronomy is welcome to join the friendly Wythenshawe Stargazers for this one of their weekly Thursday night meetings at the Johannesberg Gardens Community Centre.
If the skies are clear the event takes place outside with a practical stargazing session (there’s free tea and coffee to help keep you warm!).
If the weather is poor the activities move indoors with a beginners-level astronomy talk or telescope workshop. These events are ideal for novices and are free! Please contact the group to arrange your attendance.
Please note that this has already taken place on 14/02/2024
