Mini astronauts are invited to join us this February half-term for an out-of-this-world Space Workshop with astronomers from Kielder Observatory that will take them to infinity and beyond.

This year promises to be exceptional for observing the northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis. In this captivating and educational workshop, little ones can marvel at the night sky as they create artworks depicting displays of the aurora as it could appear here in the Northeast.

Not only this, budding space rangers will have the chance to get hands-on with the extraordinary Kielder meteorite collection, showcasing specimens from the asteroid belt, as well as rare samples from the Moon and Mars. At the end of the session, they'll be solar system professionals!

Located at Fenwick Newcastle, on the Third Floor Reading Room, sessions are available to book on Thursday 22 February: 11am-12pm, 1pm-2pm and 3pm-4pm.

*Tickets cost £5 per child (ages 7+) with 18 spaces per session.

*Every child must be accompanied by an adult.
