Events take place between 6 pm and 8 pm and are free to attend, but car parking charges may apply. Ruislip Lido is off Bury Street, and access is via Reservoir Road, HA4 7TY. Park at the car park at the end of Reservoir Road and be prepared to walk about 200 m along the well-surfaced road to our observing site, which is accessible to wheelchairs. The road is unlit so you may need a torch.

WOLAS Members' Weekend Observing trips
Spring 2025
The Spring 2025 Wolas Observing Trip will again be to our favourite dark sky location of Llanerchindda Farm in Mid-Wales (www.cambrianway.com) and we have booked the whole place again. The event will run from Sunday 27th April to Wednesday 30th April 2025.
As the Farm is such a popular place, we have also booked the same venue for the 2026 Spring Observing weekend. This will be held on the weekend of Friday 17th April to Monday 20th April 2026.
