I’m sorry to say that Footpath Astronomy is now pretty well finished for another year. I will try to continue demonstrating (depending on the weather) until the 9th December. I'll show you the Moon, Jupiter and Venus. After this date, because of preparations for Xmas, and then a long-awaited holiday for a few weeks, I just won’t have the time to set up the telescope. So I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has come down to support us this year. We have had hundreds of visitors, both locals who are regular visitors, as well as many who are just passing by and stop to have a look. We are looking forward to next year with the return of Saturn. Saturn is probably the most spectacular planet to look at, and is definitely the crowd favourite.

If you have any enquiries about Footpath or astronomy in general, you can contact me at

I’m always happy to answer any questions for you.

So Merry Xmas to all, and a very happy and safe New Year from all of us at Footpath Astronomy, and we look forward to seeing you (and the sky) again soon. Jack & Vicki.
