Semi Retirement Plan

HOURS

Monday - Friday: 9am-5.00pm

Our retirement plan has altered. Last week of September 2025 may be available for bookings plus a minimum of six weeks per year for school / cub / guides / scout bookings on a first-come first-serve basis... at your venue, not the Isle of Wight.

The available dates so far from 21st July 2025 will be...

Perhaps last week in September 2025 depending upon demand

13th to 17th October 2025

10 to 14th November 2025

9th to 20th March 2026 (including Science Week)

8th to 12th June 2026

Other dates for large bookings will also be considered.

Apart from the dates mentioned above, we aim to semi-retire the Roadshow from 21st July 2025 and move ourselves and the equipment to the Isle of Wight. It will be based at the

Wight Aviation Museum, Sandown Airport.

The brown building is our new home, and the museum hanger is in the distance.

Our public star-gazing field is on the distant far right.
