We are the East York Get Your Boots on Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Join us for a trip to the Astrocampus Observing Evening, exploring the wonders of the Universe and the stars at the University of York’s observatory.
Tour the observatory and discover what to look for in the night sky. When the weather allows, observe the Moon, planets, and/or stars with our telescopes and binoculars. Even if the weather lets us down, find out about meteors and handle our genuine meteorite, and investigate how space telescopes work with a fun, interactive talk.
When: Thursday 16 January 2025 6.30pm – 7.30pm.
Followed by optional food and drinks at the Charles XII pub in Heslington afterwards. If you wish to join for food, please comment on the event on Facebook so we can let the pub know in advance approximate numbers.
