Join the team at Mills Observatory for one of their free open evenings that run regularly through their winter season from October through to the end of March.
Observe breath-taking views of the Moon and planets and see some of the brighter star clusters, nebulae and galaxies through their large 16-inch diameter telescope.
They often have planetarium shows on Friday evenings, but please note that these require telephone booking and incur a small charge.
These events offer a fantastic family evening out and excellent value with free admission and free parking. No booking is required to visit the observatory.
