Humans have always looked up at the skies and marvelled at the Sun, Moon, planets and stars, in an attempt to understand our own sense of place and purpose, here on Earth. For over 75 years, Jodrell Bank has been at the forefront of that quest for understanding and at the heart of ground-breaking discoveries and world-leading research.
Jodrell Bank’s inspirational story includes revolutionary scientific discoveries, amazing feats of engineering, the dawn of the Space Age and the creation of the Grade I listed Lovell Telescope, an icon for science and engineering. Today Jodrell Bank Observatory is owned and managed by the University of Manchester and is a world-leading science research institute, with scientists working at the cutting edge of modern astrophysics. In 2019 Jodrell Bank was recognised as a site of Outstanding Universal Value and inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list.
The North West and Wales Area Council invites members and their families to join them on their Family Fun Day as they visit this iconic venue. There is much to see, and enjoy for the whole family, including The Telescopes, Exhibitions, Lectures, Space Dome Events, Shop and Refreshment Facilities. More information is available on their website.
Places are limited for this visit. As the tickets for this event are being fully subsidised by the North West and Wales Area Council, the event organisers would like you to let them know the ages of your party as the ticket prices are variable.
