Lewes Space Day
On Saturday 21st March, the LAS proudly presents an afternoon of astronomy talks, with a cafe/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. This event is open to the public and free for kids and students. Tickets on sale at https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/lewesspaceday.
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 fantastic value for money.
LAS members get a discount, so one talk is £3 and it's just £6 for all four talks. Look out for the discount code in your emails, or ask the committee.
If you have any queries, please contact our Outreach Officer, Dr Kate Land, at outreach@lewesas.org.uk, who has organised this amazing event.
About Us
We're a friendly astronomy group based in Lewes, the county town of East Sussex. Whether you're passionate or just curious about astronomy, an expert or complete novice, everyone is welcome. Our activities are designed to suit all levels of interest, knowledge, and experience within the field of astronomy.
Our heritage dates back five decades as a small group known as the Lewes Astronomers. Astronomy has made significant strides during that time, yet it remains one of the few scientific disciplines in which amateurs can play a useful role.
Relaunched in 2022 as the Lewes Astronomical Society, we now attract about 150 members each year. Yet our ethos remains simple: to promote all aspects of astronomy in a friendly and inclusive environment for people living in and around the Lewes area.
Join Us
Our membership season runs for 12 months from 1st September each year. Membership includes free admission to our public talks which are usually presented by a guest speaker. These meetings are normally held on the first Wednesday of each month (except July and August) at the Subud Centre in Lewes.
We also arrange other events throughout the year, such as stargazing evenings. Our events are a great way to meet amateurs and professionals in the field of astronomy and make new friends.
Join us now to enjoy full membership until 31st August 2026. See our membership page for more details.
