To keep up to date on our events at the Royal Observatory, please sign up for our Space newsletter. Join astronomers for a unique stargazing experience as Evening with the Stars returns! The night begins with a live planetarium show, introducing you to the wonders of the night sky. Then, after sunset and weather permitting, Observatory astronomers will guide you across the night sky with both modern-day telescopes and our 130-year-old instrument: the Great Equatorial Telescope. If the weather isn't playing nice, you'll still be able to enjoy talks from our astronomers on the history of the Royal Observatory, and ask everything you've ever wanted to know about astronomy during an exclusive evening tour. A selection of hot drinks will be available, included in the price of your ticket. So wrap up warm, and don't miss your chance to spend a night under the stars at the Royal Observatory Greenwich. Image Important information We regret that we are unable to offer refunds in the case of poor weather. This event is not suitable for families with young children and has an age restriction of 7+. Due to the historical nature of our site, there are some areas of the event that are only accessible via stairs. Please contact the Bookings Team on 020 8312 6608 or email Bookings@rmg.co.uk if you have any accessibility needs. Sections of the evening take place outside, so we recommend wearing warm, waterproof clothing.

The access instructions are included here and further information will be sent to you with your tickets. Please familiarise yourself with this information before travelling to the site. Download Evening With The Stars Access Instructions.pdf pdf, 348.74 KB Plan your visit How do I get to this event? As the Observatory is located inside Greenwich Park, access is restricted after the Park has closed. If you are attending a session that begins before the Park closes, you can make your own way to the Observatory as normal. If you are attending a session that begins after the Park has closed, access by car and by foot is only possible via St Mary's Gate at the northwest end of the Park. Those coming on foot should come to the gate where a minibus will be waiting to take them up to the Observatory. For all sessions, exit from the Park is only possible via St Mary's Gate, again making use of the minibus if coming on foot. All of this information, including detailed access instructions and Park opening times are available for download above and will also be included with your ticket. How long will this event last? The entire event, including the planetarium show, modern telescope session and Great Equatorial Telescope session, will last around two hours. Are companion/carer tickets available? Companions to visitors with disabilities are entitled to free admission.
