119th Post - March Overview

Finally, here are my recommendations for March, hope you enjoy them and find them interesting to watch, listen and eat. In the meantime, March has a lot to offer especially in London, so head this month and take in all the best new events, exhibitions and best events in the capital. Spring has sprung, and – like the flower beds in Hyde Park – London's events calendar is bursting into action. Outdoor fun is on the rise, but there are still plenty of brilliant exhibitions, pop-ups and markets for those of you not quite ready to hang up your big coat just yet.

British Science Week at the Royal Observatory

With 2024’s theme of ‘time’, this year’s British Science Week is promising a fascinating roster of workshops, events and behind-the-scenes adventures suitable for a range of ages. What better place to get stuck in than the home of Greenwich Mean Time, anyway? There’ll be an evening on ‘Astrophotography’ on International Women’s Day, showcasing the dazzling work of women in the industry. Astronomy & Islam, a planetarium show on how Arab navigators used stars to found thier way around the earth, will take place March 9. For more information on the brilliant events happening throughout March, have a look at the Observatory’s website.
