Star-B-Q:

See the Wonders of the Universe through Ireland’s Biggest Telescopes

Our famous Star-B-Q is just around the corner!  This will be the main fund-raising event of the summer, professionally catered and bracing to handle larger crowds of enthusiastic star-gazers than ever!

On Saturday, August 26 (just this Saturday week!), under the same dark skies of the Roundwood, Co. Wicklow, we will come together once again.  Be sure to bring all family and friends with the smallest interest in the stars.  They will not be disappointed!
