The price for this visit is £2 per child and £2 per adult attending.

At least two experienced members of OASI will host the group visit.
They will generally cover the following topics:
* Guided tour of the observatory.
* History of the observatory.
* The instruments at the observatory, how they were used historically and how they are used nowadays.
* If weather conditions permit, view the night sky using the Tomline Refractor.

PLEASE NOTE
Access to the observatory is via two flights of stairs and a spiral staircase.
There are no toilet facilities at the observatory.
Please DO NOT enter via the main wrought iron gates – there is no access to the observatory this way and cars will be locked in overnight.
