Calling all amateur astronomers, local tourism businesses, night sky enthusiasts – and the simply curious!

You are invited to come along for a tour of the Observatory’s newly upgraded facilities.

There will also be refreshments and an evocative series of historical night sky exploration stories titled “Sailors’ Navigation By the Night Sky”.

Everyone is welcome, including families, visitors, and local businesses that may wish to book the observatory for future visitor-facing events. If you’re a budding astronomer or part of a group or club, bring your telescope along! And if you have a pair of binoculars, grab those and turn up - it’s amazing what can be seen.

There will also be several telescopes on site for people to use. Experienced volunteer astronomers are especially welcome to bring their own telescopes to share views of the cosmos and can contact publicity@West-Norfolk.gov.uk for more information about getting involved.

If the sky proves to be less than optimal for viewing purposes, don’t worry, because knowledgeable astronomers will be on hand to talk about what can be seen on clear nights, particularly during the autumn and winter months.

NO RSVP or booking necessary - simply come along, park up at the clifftop car park, and join us from 6pm-10pm at either/both of the two Saturday events in November!

Please note: If rain or other adverse weather conditions are forecast, these outdoor events will have to be postponed.
