Reach for the Stars Science Workshop

A Stargazing Science Workshop.

Ever gazed at the stars and wondered about the mysteries of the universe? With Reach for the Stars, you can transform that curiosity into cosmic knowledge! Join Mike Culley, a Royal Astronomy Society Fellow and one of the UK's top planetarium presenters, on an enthralling journey through the cosmos.

This beginner-friendly workshop covers everything from planets and constellations to supernovae and black holes. You’ll even get hands-on with meteorites, exploring rare specimens that unlock secrets of our Solar System’s origins. Mike will also guide you through the ins and outs of choosing a telescope, helping you get started with stargazing from your very own garden.

Held quarterly in Cambridgeshire or Essex, this day-long experience (10:30 am to 4:30 pm) promises to inspire seasoned astronomers and first-timers alike.
