Membership

We are delighted to offer membership to The Observatory Science Centre.

As a member you are entitled to visit the centre for a full twelve months from the date your Membership starts.  You will benefit from FREE admittance whenever The Centre is open and normal admission prices apply - remember this includes open evenings.

From time to time we may make a 'special offer' to our members; e.g. book 2 for the price of 1 on a workshop, and you will also be the first to hear if we have any limited additions to our programme.

We are a registered charity (No: 298542) and if you are a UK tax payer, we can process your membership fee through Gift Aid.

ADULT MEMBERSHIP...........£44

SENIOR MEMBERSHIP.........£36

CHILD MEMBERSHIP...........£30
(Children aged 4 -16)

FAMILY MEMBERSHIP.........£120
(1 adult & 3 children or 2 adults & 2 children)

Individual passes will be issued to each member. 

Please print off and complete a Membership Application Form and post it to us with your payment.  We also require a passport sized photo of each person for the membership pass.

Science Projects Ltd is a registered charity No. 298542 and one way in which you can support The Centre is through Gift Aid.

If you are a UK tax payer the FULL membership payment can be GiftAided at NO extra cost to you; but the government will give us 25% in addition to the amount you have paid.

For example:
Adult membership £44
Through Gift Aid The Centre will receive £55.

That makes a massive difference and will contribute to help us maintain and develop this unique centre.

Any information given on the Gift Aid form will remain confidential and will never be passed to any organisation other than the Inland Revenue.
