A wide range of space-themed activities will be on offer, suitable for both children and their accompanying adults, including: safe solar observing (weather permitting), model rocket launches, drawing craters on the Moon with a telescope, VR headsets, finding dark skies locally for stargazing. ‘Could you spot a meteorite?’, looking at rocks and fossils, the importance of dark skies for wildlife, drawing and colouring table and light refreshments (for an additional charge).

The announcement of the Fun Days comes after the South Downs Planetarium and Science Centre celebrated the release of the James Webb Space Telescope images with a specially-produced, expertly-commentated live show.
