About the Society

Welcome to the Cleethorpes & District Astronomical Society, founded in 1969 and located at Beacon Hill Allotments, Cleethorpes. The Society is registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales as charity no. 1186764. We have our own lecture room and observatory containing a 16 inch Newtonian/Cassegrain telescope as well as other smaller telescopes. Regular monthly meetings are held on the first Wednesday of every month with invited speakers who give talks on a range of astronomical topics (click to download a meetings poster for 2025 or 2025 with speaker bios). We also run beginners’ sessions from September to June once a month on Friday evenings which are open to everyone. Find us on Facebook.

Lincolnshire Community Foundation – Humber Gateway Community Fund

Great news! As part of the Humber Gateway Community Fund, we are pleased to announce that Lincolnshire Community Foundation have awarded us £2500.00.

We have used this funding to lay a new, safer and more accessible concrete path from our boundary to the meeting room. We hope this will encourage people to join us who might otherwise have been put off by the very poor state of the old path.
