Newbury Astronomical Society

Newbury Astronomical Society’s Astronomy for Juniors meetings offer a fun, friendly and engaging introduction to astronomy for young space explorers aged 7 to 13. Sessions are suitable for all abilities, with plenty of opportunities to learn about the wonders of space and, when skies are clear, head outside for some practical observing through telescopes.

Full annual membership of Newbury Astronomical Society costs £30 and includes admission to the Juniors meetings. Casual visitors are also very welcome, with admission priced at £5 per meeting, including refreshments during the break.

Meetings take place on the second Tuesday of each month from September to May.

Join the Newbury Astronomical Society for their monthly group meeting on the first Friday of each month from September to June.

These meetings include a presentation by a guest speaker and a "what's up" session describing the sky that month. It's also an excellent opportunity to learn about forthcoming observing sessions, including their beginners' meetings.

Complimentary refreshments are available during the interval. Visitors and prospective new members are very welcome!

The beginner's section of the Newbury Astronomical Society meets every third Wednesday of each month between September to May.

These meetings include an entry-level introduction to astronomy and consist of practical astronomy sessions, observing if clear. There will also be a talk about what's happening in the night sky in the coming months

Sessions are suitable for all ages (an adult must accompany children under 16). Everyone is welcome to join in and use the society's telescopes.
