Total Lunar Eclipse Viewing Evening

A RARE OPPORTUNITY awaits to view a total eclipse of the moon through a telescope on September 7th. 🌕

This spectacular total eclipse, also known as a blood moon, happens only every few years, with the last being in 2022.

Experienced amateur astronomer, Sophie Frankel will be returning to That Little Norfolk Studio to talk about the lunar event before we go into the Abbey grounds to view the moon. The moon is safe to view therefore no precautions are necessary to look through Sophie’s telescope.

Sophie’s talk will take place at 6.30pm with an opportunity to place food orders from 6pm. Our bar will be open serving hot and cold drinks. Sunset will be at 7.30pm on the day so we can expect to see the eclipse between 7.30pm and 9.30pm.

Sophie will be giving a physics demonstration making holographic chocolate to show how astronomers use light to learn about celestial objects. There will be an opportunity for everyone to make their own holographic chocolate moon throughout the evening.

Photographs can be taken of the moon via the telescope on the night.

This is a FREE event but spaces are limited so we ask that you grab a free ticket from the link provided to avoid disappointment.
