As part of our new website we have launched a small online shop featuring exclusive web bundles and popular items from our science centre gift shop.
We also have 2 exclusive books: 'Astronomers at Herstmonceux' and 'The Isaac Newton Telescope'.
All prices include 2nd class postage to UK address. For international postage, please contact us before ordering through website: shop@the-observatory.org
The Observatory Science Centre is part of the educational charity Science Projects Ltd. Every purchase helps to support us as we strive to maintain and develop this unique attraction in a Grade II* Listed site.
We care about the environment.
All items will be posted in recycled packaging.
We offer a 14 day returns policy with online shop orders.
If you wish to return an item you should first contact us via email:
The item can then be returned at your cost, providing it is in wrapped, re-saleable condition.
When received, we will refund your price paid through PayPal, less original postage.
When posting please use the Post Office and obtain proof of posting. Items are your responsibility until received by ourselves.
All items purchased as part of a bundle / package deal must be returned together in order to qualify for a full refund of the purchase price.
Products are checked carefully before despatch, but please contact us in the unlikely event of any problems or faults. We can then advise with regards to replacement or refund option.
It is with great sadness that we announce the closure of The Observatory Science Centre from 18th March 2020 until further notice.
This decision was made in the light of the current coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and recent UK government advice, which our charity has been carefully monitoring and following.
The safety and wellbeing of our visitors, staff and volunteers is our absolute priority during this difficult time.
Given the uncertainty we are all facing, we don’t yet know when we will re-open. If you have booked group visits / upcoming events etc. we will be in contact when we return to work.
We sincerely wish good health for you and your families during these uncertain times and we can’t wait to welcome you back as we continue our 25th anniversary celebrations.
The Observatory Science Centre team
Thank you for your cooperation, understanding and support.
