We went to one of the open visitor nights, and it was so much fun. Highly recommended if you can get hands on tickets! The staff we also so kind and went out of their way to help us

We absolutely loved our visit to the observatory as part of the culture night. The explanations were really helpful, but most of all the staff there was very kind and friendly.

Fab night at the public night thanks to Sadhbh and the team. Great talk and then a bit of a history lesson about the telescope.
