Visiting the club
Where we are located
Birmingham Astronomical Society is based at Aston University in Birmingham.
We have our own club room at the University which is open every Wednesday evening from 8pm for astronomical discussion (and a cup of tea and a biscuit!).
For security reasons access to the club room needs to be by prior arrangement, please get in touch if you want to come along.
Access to the club room involves one set of stairs, sadly there is no lift access.
When you arrive at the Main building use the side entrance in Potter Street.
Press the intercom to speak to Security and say you are here for the Astronomy Club.
We meet in the Main Building reception from 7.45pm and walk up the club room at 8pm as a group.
If you arrive late on a Wednesday, after 8pm, please call 0121 204 4731 and a member will come and walk you to the club room.
Parking
You can park in the University car parks. Pay by phone, Fees vary based on time of arrival. Car Park 6 is around £1 and Car Park 5 around £4.
The centre portion of Aston Street is now pedestrian only, consequently there is no direct vehicle access from James Watt Queensway to Woodcock Street.
Free parking is available in Holt Street and Woodcock Street after 7:30pm
