Stargazers given scope to admire heavenly bodies in Arundel

Arundel Wetland Centre is hosting a special evening later this month as part of the BBC Stargazing Live events.

On Tuesday, January 24, the centre, in Mill Road, is holding an indoor talk and outdoor telescope session from 6-8.30pm with the Astronomia telescope and binoculars shop from Dorking.

Centre manager Olivia Iles said: “At Arundel Wetland Centre, the sky over the South Downs has very little light pollution, which will make for good viewing through the telescopes.”

Visitors attending the astronomy evening in January will receive a Stargazing Live Star and Moon Guide created by BBC Learning. To book a place, price £2, telephone 01903 881530.
