About the event
Join us for a night at the James Martin Observatory. Your visit will include a guided tour of the premises including the Dome and telescope, and if clear you will have an opportunity to see some of the features of the Manx Dark skies through the telescope and you may also have a guided tour of the night sky with one of our astronomers. If cloudy there will be a presentation about the features visible in the night sky. Your ticket includes a cup of tea or coffee and a biscuit. All are welcome, but any budding astronomer under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Please note there is a one way track up to the observatory so access to the will be one way (up to the observatory) until 8.00pm. So you will not be able to drop off and return down the lane
