Food will be served from our LAUNCH BOX at the back of the café from 06.30pm-8pm. Pre -ordered food is highly recommended. Please phone The Centre on 01323 832731 to pre-order your food.

Being a social event you will be grouped into teams of 6-8 (teams will be already named after planets), where you should feel comfortable to mingle with other like- minded people or why not bring along your own team, to partake in an evening of Astro star studied questions, along with a mix of Food & Drink & General Knowledge questions. 

The winning team will be awarded a small prize!

After a social fun packed evening of quizzing, group tours will begin taking you around the domes to view through our historic telescopes and meet our knowledgeable Astronomers. This is your chance to ask loads of questions!

This particular evening (weather depending) we are hoping to take a closer look at the MOON & possibly catch a glimpse of the aligning of Venus & Mars!

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN ADULT ONLY EXCLUSIVE.
