Lovell Lectures relaunch!
Posted 19 Oct, 2022
Following a three-year hiatus due to the pandemic we are delighted to be relaunching our Lovell Lecture series this Autumn/Winter. A series of public lectures named in honour of Sir Bernard Lovell, the Founder and first Director of Jodrell Bank Observatory taking place in our Wolfson Auditorium.
We are inviting three leading astrophysicists to join us:
- Thursday 3 November: Professor Tim O’Brien
Multi-Messenger Astrophysics - Thursday 8 December: Professor Chris Lintott
How to be Surprised by the Universe - Thursday 19 January: Professor Christopher Conselice
Origins: The Big Bang to Intelligent Life and Everything in Between
These lectures have been popular in the past so be sure to book your tickets quick!
We are also offering an evening meal in our First Light Café in our stunning new building, which you can pre-book in advance. On the menu will be high quality pies from H.M. Pasties which was set up to ‘bring out the good inside’ by employing ex-offenders to make and sell handmade pasties and pies. The social enterprise was born in 2018 with support from the Big Lottery Fund, Forward Trust and the Santander Foundation. We highly recommend them!
We look forward to seeing you at a Lovell Lecture soon!

Celebrating our Volunteers
During National Volunteers' Week we are taking the opportunity to say a big ‘thank you’ to all of our fantastic volunteers for their hard work, passion and expertise. We wouldn’t be able to offer all of the amazing activities and special events that we do without their help.
Make a Meadow – FREE activity for ticket holders 1st June.
We are excited to invite all our visitors to participate in a special event: Wildflower planting on our grass-topped dome at our First Light Pavilion on Thursday 1st June.
First Light Pavilion Wins Again
We’re delighted to say that our spectacular new First Light Pavilion and permanent exhibition gallery, which opened in June 2022, has continued to win awards since its launch.
Wildflower Power
This spring, we are working with our volunteer team and our partners at the Cheshire Wildlife Trust to make our dome even ‘greener’ by increasing the biodiversity of the species that inhabit the roof.
