A completely free astronomy show

The Practical Astronomy Show ("PAS") brings the leading astronomy businesses, organisations and educational institutions together under one roof, for one day. PAS is the UK's primary astronomy industry event.

Astronomy products and services are available for purchase from various stands at the show. Many new products make their debut at IAS every year.

The show is free to attend. The latest astronomy equipment will be on display, and for sale on vendor  stands.

Organisations involved in astronomy education, outreach and tourism will be available to meet and greet the general public.

The show caters for all levels of practical astrophotography and visual astronomy. We hope that no matter what your experience level, there will be something interesting for you at the show.

Food and drinks are available for purchase at the show. Full disabled access is of course provided.

The practical astronomy show is organised by Nick Vermeulen and John Timmins, both passionate amateur astronomers since childhood.
