A stargazing and astronomy night is set to take place in Wisbech in October.

The event will be held this Saturday at St John's Church in Parson Drove.

The evening will feature Dean Watson, a renowned author and teacher of astronomy, who will provide a guided tour of the Milky Way, the Galaxy, and the Universe.

Attendees will then have the opportunity to observe the night sky, weather permitting.

The organisers said: "This is another of our fantastic free events. No need to book, just turn up!"

The event will take place in the field behind the church, and attendees are advised to bring a coat and wellies in case of chilly or damp conditions.

A few pairs of binoculars and possibly a telescope or two will be available for use, but attendees are encouraged to bring their own if they have them.

Refreshments, including hot chocolate, will be available, and a raffle will be held.

The organisers said: "Doors open 6pm for 6.30pm start, we hope you can make it."

The event is free to attend.
