Nottingham Astronomical Society hosts regular practical astronomy sessions on the third Thursday of each month at Burnside Hall in Plumtree.
Weather permitting, telescopes will be set up for observing — if you have your own, then take it along! If the weather is poor, the event remains a social evening with workshops inside the hall.
Everyone is welcome, and there is no need to book, however, we recommend contacting the Society to let them know you plan to attend.
