Jodrell Bank Visitor Centre
The Jodrell Bank Visitor Centre welcomes you to the world famous Lovell Radio Telescope and Jodrell Bank Observatory, part of the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics at The University of Manchester. We have a range of attractions suitable for both adults and children, and we also run a series of events throughout the year.

The Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA) and the Northwest European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) have confirmed funding of 3.1 million pounds to kick-start the development of a new Science Discovery Centre at Jodrell Bank. The Centre aims to inspire budding young scientists and showcase cutting-edge research 'as it happens'. The announcement coincides with confirmation that the exciting redevelopment project has been granted planning permission by Cheshire East Council, meaning that work could start on site as soon as next month. See the NWDA press release for more information.
