Feeling blue after the Festive period? Why not treat yourself either to an enchanting afternoon of astrofun combining indoor and outdoor cosmic activities for young and old, including Starlab planetarium shows, comet-making, rocket launching and rocks from space; or an energizing evening of stargazing and astrofun.
The events are hosted by three snowdrop gardens to deliver special events during the Scottish Snowdrop Festival to help visitors enjoy the sparkling white stars of Scotland’s clear winter skies.
