The Royal Observatory schools programme will begin in January 2026 due to the upcoming site regeneration project. Our brilliant Astronomy Education team will be working on an exciting refresh of our schools offer, and a temporary programme based at the National Maritime Museum.
For more information about our current offer, take a look at our main Schools page.
There are no astronomy school workshops or Planetarium shows available until later in 2026.
