Mid-Kent Astronomical Society proudly presents its annual star-studded event for families and individuals interested in all things space!
This is an all weather event, so even if it is cloudy, come along.
There will be a range of educational and exciting stands, one special talk, several children's activities, and so much more. Plus several Telescopes for viewing the heavens, if weather allows.
This event is NOT to be missed. Put the date in your diaries today.
If you want some more fun for yourself or your children or grandchildren during the Half Term holiday, then look no further than our Family Space Night!
We are offering a brilliant evening which will include a beginner's guide to the night sky and displays about astronomy and space, We will have some hands on activities for the younger children from age 7 upwards. There will be plenty to occupy adults too!
Come along and learn about Space and Astronomy and, weather permitting, go outside and look at some interesting astronomical sights through a selection of telescopes.
We will have the latest electronically assisted observing telescopes allowing several people to log on and view the objects at the same time, as well as more conventional designs. Steps will be provided to help shorter adults and children reach the eyepieces.
Some highlights to look forward to:
- Hands-on displays about Space and our Solar System
- An exciting talk to give an introduction to the wonders of the night sky
- Moon rock and Meteorites: Look at different meteorites and hold a piece of the Moon!!

In recent Family Space Night events, we have attracted over 150 visitors, so this is very popular and not one to be missed.
Doors open at 19:30pm.
ENTRY ONLY BY ADVANCE PURCHASE OF TICKETS.
Under 18s are FREE but they MUST be accompanied by an adult.
REMEMBER! It may well be quite cold outside at this time of year so wrap up warm if you are venturing outside to do some stargazing and to look through the telescopes.
POLITE REQUEST
Whilst it will obviously be dark outside we ask you not to use normal white light torches near the telescopes as they will spoil your night vision and that of others. We will have red lights to guide you to and from the telescopes.
PLEASE NOTE - we are all volunteers and the programme of events may change due to circumstances beyond our control.
