Lewes Space Day
Multiple Speakers
All Saints Centre, Lewes BN7 2LE
The LAS proudly presents an afternoon of astronomy talks, with a cafe, licenced bar and book seller, at the All Saints Centre in Lewes, BN7 2LE. We are delighted to have the brilliant communicator and space scientist Prof Lucie Green headlining the event, along with Dr Steven Banham, Dr Eva-Maria Mueller, and Dr Penny Wozniakiewicz.
A single talk is only £4, but tickets reduce by 50 pence each for each additional talk you attend. So it's £4 for one, £7 for two, £9 for three, and £10 for all four talks. That is already fantastic value for money, but LAS members also get a discount, so one talk is £3 and it's just £6 for all four talks. Look out for the discount code in our emails, or contact anyone on the committee.
Tickets and further details are available at https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/lewesspaceday.
Please note that the opening comedy performance by local musical legend John Hinton is sold out, but you can join a waiting list on the Ticket Source webpage. The first astronomical talk will start at 3:30pm
Weather permitting, there will be an opportunity to freely and safely observe the Sun through our solar telescope, which will be set up in the grounds of the venue.
If you have any queries, please contact our Outreach Officer, Dr Kate Land, at outreach@lewesas.org.uk, who has organised what promises be an amazing event.
