Join us for a special night of space exploration, special planetarium shows and practical demonstrations. There will be telescope stations to view the night sky (weather permitting) supported by Liverpool Astronomical Society.

There will be a series of fascinating talks from many of our usual speakers, plus some new ones – more information will be announced soon. Chat with members and staff from Liverpool Astronomical Society, University of Liverpool, MajorTim.Space Ambassadors and many more in the Skyline gallery.

Suitable for all levels of interest, these events are aimed at adults and children aged 8 and above, although there will be some activities for younger children as well. 

The event will start at 5.30pm, with the event closing at 9pm. 

Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances the shop and cafe will not be open during the event.
