Astronomy on Tap Bristol is a monthly series of space‑themed events organised by postgraduate researchers at the University of Bristol. Our monthly events at The Lansdown feature two short astronomy talks, an interactive quiz, and plenty of time to chat with fellow space enthusiasts. If you enjoy learning about the Universe over a pint, join us on the second Wednesday of every month!
