Talks for local communities: The Skies above Somerset - Monkton Combe
Advertisement
Join local astronomer Simon Holbeche for a talk about an inspiring journey through the day and night skies that stretch over our towns, villages, and countryside. From sunrise to starlight, you’ll discover what’s happening above Somerset’s gardens, fields, and hills — and how to spot it for yourself.
One of many visits to local communities to bring the night sky to everyone. Other visits in the planning.
With striking images captured right here in the South West, Simon will share the stories behind celestial events, along with practical tips to help you enjoy them in future — whether you’re using nothing more than your eyes, your phone, or a small telescope. Perfect for anyone who’s ever paused mid-walk or stood at the back door, captivated by the Moon, planets, or the twinkling stars, this talk will open your eyes to the wonders you’ve been living under all along.
Simon, chair of Bath Astronomers and a STEM outreach ambassador for local schools, has been stargazing since the age of nine — meaning he brings decades of experience, a passion for the cosmos, and a knack for making the universe feel close to home.
