Due to popularity, Discovery Day sessions for all key stages are very limited for the rest of this academic year. If you would still like to visit, there are Planetarium show-only slots available, as well as self-guided visits to the historic buildings of the Royal Observatory.
We have temporarily suspended our Digital Outreach programme. Please keep an eye on this page for updates.
2024 - 25 visits
Bookings for the 2024 Autumn Term will open in July. Bookings for January - July 2025 will open later in the year.
