Quality Badge Accreditation

In December 2010, The Centre was awarded The Learning Outside the Classroom 'Quality Badge'. This is a national benchmark that accredits providers of LotC and confirms that we offer young people the type of high quality learning experiences they really benefit from in an environment that manages risk effectively.

OPEN EVENING 11th November

In addition to the usual day time opening The Centre will also be open from 6.30pm - 11pm. Come along and take the opportunity to look through the historic telescopes at some fascinating celestial objects including Venus and JUPITER - weather permitting (see Open Evenings in the Astronomy section for further details).
