Breckland Astronomical Society is based in the dark skies of Great Ellingham in Norfolk and has its own observatory housing a 20″ reflecting telescope.
The group is active in outreach and regularly opens its observatory to the public for stargazing sessions.

Experience incredible planets, stars, galaxies and nebulae views through their excellent 20-inch aperture telescope!

The public is welcome to attend this meeting of the Breckland Astronomical Society.
These meetings often include a talk or presentation and offer an excellent opportunity to socialise with local astronomers and learn about the society's activities.
