NEXT Event

Our next meeting will take place on Monday 6th October 2025

Doors open at 7.45pm ready for an 8pm start at Dorridge Village Hall, Grange Road, Dorridge, SOLIHULL, B93 8QA.

Welcome to the Knowle Astronomical Society Website

We will also have a stall at Dorridge Day 2025 on Sunday 14th September, with several solar scopes set up for anyone to view the activity of the sun in safety! Pop in and see us.

If you're interested in astronomy this is the society for you! Our members range from people with a casual interest in the subject to serious amateurs and professionals. You don't need any specialist knowledge to join, nor do you need to own a telescope. You can also be sure of a friendly welcome.

We normally meet on the first Monday of the month. Please check out the meeting dates on the "Meetings Calendar" menu item.

Please see the 'About Us' link for more information, including how to get to the venue.

Also, why not try 'flying' around the Milky Way and view our closest 100,000 stars from your armchair, seeing where our solar system sits in the great scheme of things!!

Which way is 'up' in space? Messier 53 is way up there!
