A completely free astronomy show
Never been to the Practical Astronomy Show?
Here’s 7 reasons why you’re missing out:
1) It’s free and central! The Practical Astronomy Show is free to attend this year. There are no parking charges and the venue is centrally located at NAEC Stoneleigh exhibition centre.
2) Leading brands are represented. All the leading astronomy equipment manufacturers are represented, including Altair Astro, Celestron, iOptron, Skywatcher, ZWO, and many more.
3) In-person meet and greet. You have the opportunity to meet astronomy equipment suppliers face to face to talk about features and determine what’s most suitable for your style of astronomy – beneficial since most gear is marketed online.
4) Physical products on display. There’s nothing like seeing your next astronomy purchase in the hand – with products on display – a great reason to stop by in a digital-only era.
5) The place to see new products. Practical Astro Show vendors always bring their very latest products to the show, so you’re pretty much guaranteed to see something new when you visit.
6) Deals and discounts. There’s always discounts to be had from vendors at the Practical Astronomy Show, so keep a look out for offers on the day!
7) New to astronomy? Astronomy clubs a good way to explore this captivating hobby, and the two biggest astronomy organizations in the UK have booths at the event – the British Astronomical Association, and the Society for Popular Astronomy. Both are staffed by welcoming members who can assist you (and your kids) as you take your first steps.
