PRIOR TO BOOKING PLEASE NOTE TEMPORARY CHANGES TO EVENTS
One of our observing turrets is currently closed for unforeseen essential maintenance. During clear nights our most powerful telescope will still be in use, and we are using additional telescopes in alternative observing rooms. The content events of nights where observing isn’t possible will remain unaffected, other than access to the closed observing turret. Guests unable to climb steps are advised not to make a booking during this time.
