A break for hot drinks and biscuits will then be followed by stargazing if clear.
With UK Astronomy's mobile observatory, a VW 'Space' crafter van packed with telescopes, binoculars and gear for you to get hands on searching the sky for and seeing some of the awesome sights that our universe has to offer.
If cloudy or raining there will be scopes and gear for you to view plus another 30-40min talk where we turn the lights off and show you what you can see with your eyes, binoculars and finally telescopes.
