The festival is a free community-focused event, with a music stage, spoken word/poetry stage, a funfair, a small food court with a variety of different cuisines and a wide range of community, charity and commercial stalls.
We will be attending this annual local event with our telescopes suitably filtered for safe observing of sunspots and other activity on our local star. It would be great to see you there.

We are taking a Summer Break with our FridayCLUB outreach meetings. There are no FridayCLUB outreach meetings in May, June or July. The Sky is very bright during the summer months (May,June,July) making observing with telescopes highly challenging in the early evening. We will restart the meetings on 22nd August 2025. Please put this date in your diary’s as we would love to see you there.
