An Audience with Sir Bernard Lovell

A rare opportunity to hear the Founder and first Director of Jodrell Bank Observatory talk about his life and work.


An extremely rare opportunity to hear the Founder and first Director of Jodrell Bank Observatory talk about his life and work, including the creation of the giant radio telescope which now bears his name. A unique reflection on the development of radio astronomy from its earliest days on the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of 'First Light' with the iconic Lovell Telescope. The festival also features a unique musical performance starring the Lovell Telescope written by the artists Jem Finer (of The Pogues) and Ansuman Biswas on the evening of Friday August 3rd.
