Local Events and Activities
Apart from our meetings each month, the Club is involved in supporting local groups, collaborating in public events, organising field trips and each summer we hold a market stall.
SUMMER OF ASTRONOMY For latest dates on activities during June and July 2025.
Support for groups
If you are a local group (scouts, round table, schools etc) and you would like us to help with star gazing opportunities then please contact us.
Exhibitions
We have worked with the East Riding Library Service and Beverley Guildhall to put on astronomy exhibitions at the Treasure House and the Guildhall.
Our Treasure House exhibition was a huge success, as was the Guildhall’s exhibition on astronomy.
Market stalls
Our next Beverley market stall will be in July, Saturday 26th July from 0900hrs.
National Astronomy Week 2025
National Astronomy Week 2025 saw ERA working with other local clubs (HERAS and BLAS) to organise stargazing in Grandad’s Park in Cottingham.
We also put on an exhibition at the nearby Civic Hall.
Light Pollution
We have been highly supportive of East Riding Council’s Live Labs 2 initiative to reduce the carbon footprint of highway lighting. Here you can see Club members stargazing alongside a main road now that the streetlights are no longer used.
Our pavement astronomy event in Beverley was an opportunity for members of the public and passersby to have a go at stargazing.
The Village Hall is an ideal venue to host your group. In 2024 we were happy to welcome our local Round Table to the Hall for a few hours of star gazing. The parade of planets was in full view.
