A really BIG THANKS for the workshops yesterday. They were appropriate, engaging and fun. The children and all of the adults loved them. Thanks again and all the best for your Astro Ventures in the future.

Even though a total novice I soon found myself getting lost in the experience. The observatory is run by Roy and his enthusiasm is infectious. He made the subject easy for beginners to understand and was keen to answer our questions. As well as an ongoing discussion through the event along with some screen demonstrations, we were lucky in that there was a lot of clear sky time so we got to use both binoculars and the main telescope. A great night.

Taking advantage of the dark skies near Kielder forest, the observatory is well equipped with powerful telescopes and lots of powerful binoculars available. The presentation was very informative and interesting and views of the stars spectacular. First time I had seen Saturn through a telescope, amazing!

Paul R,

Very friendly, explaining everything in plain English that’s easy to understand. The only thing they can’t control is the weather, mores the pity.

Even when the weather is mixed, it's still a lot of fun & our host James was really knowledgeable and his enthusiasm was really contagious.
