Salisbury and South Wilshire Museum Meteorite Events

[David Entwistle]

To coincide with the arrival of the Lake House Meteorite at Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum there will be two weeks of meteorite related activities. See here for details.

The Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum is thrilled to be able to display the meteorite. In addition, for a two week period from 10 September to 22 September, the Museum's Learning and Outreach Officer will be running a full programme of FREE supporting events for schools.

The two week programme will include sessions for all ages from infants to A-Level students, including the opportunity to handle moon rock and other meteorite samples loaned by the Science and Technology Facilities Council.

Two special workshops are being organised with Dr Paul Roche, Director of the Faulkes Telescopes Project and national schools' astronomer, and Professor Colin Pillinger. These will be aimed at GCSE and A-Level students.

Professor Colin Pillinger will also be giving a lecture about the meteorite at the museum at 6.30pm on 11 September. Tickets: £8 (members), £10 (non members).
