Space Kids Events typically take place at an earlier time, before the Sun goes down. In some cases when it's clear we can still observe objects such as the Sun, the Moon, and bright stars / planets depending on the time of year. These events are focused around engaging kids in astronomy and the surrounding topics in a hope that it will spark their curiosity and foster their enthusiasm.

Every event supports our charitable mission

Kielder Observatory is a registered charity dedicated to making astronomy accessible to all. By joining us, you’re not only enjoying an unforgettable evening — you’re helping us inspire the next generation of stargazers and scientists.

On site we have a huge range of telescopes guided by Kielder's expert sky navigators for when the skies are at their best. And for when they're hiding, our team will welcome you into our a planetarium for an immersive dark skies experience undercover.
