Celebration Sundays
It is the 25th anniversary of The Observatory Science Centre in 2020 and we are celebrating throughout the year. Celebration Sundays will be held on the first Sunday of every month from February to November (with the exception of September). There will be different themes and activities each month but we will be showcasing just how much fun science actually is.

Activities will take place between 11am and 4pm, usually with a break for lunch (subject to change). There is no extra charge for the activities; they are included with your regular admission into The Centre.

Welcome to our special year of celebrations. It is 25 years since we began to restore the historic telescopes and domes of the observatory at Herstmonceux to create The Observatory Science Centre you see and enjoy today. Once described as ‘a labour of love unfolding in the Sussex countryside’ it has grown to become an outstanding attraction and resource, bringing science to the public in a unique historic setting. When we started work Sir Patrick Moore jubilantly announced that the observatory had been ‘saved for science’. More than that, thanks to the dedication of all who have worked and volunteered here, it has been saved for the thousands of visitors who have experienced all we have to offer and the joy of just being in this very special place.
Stephen Pizzey, Founder and Director.
