I rang Boundless over a week before the event to let them know that we could not attend as my husband had been given a date for a long awaited operation. I followed this up with an email, as I was aware that there was a waiting list for the event and thought someone else could take our place, also hoping for a part refund. I have had no reply at all, not even an acknowledgement. rather disappointing. Some feedback would be welcome.

Great event at Jodrell Bank
Great event at Jodrell Bank. The arrival and booking in experience could have been have been streamlined. First Q was to have the QR code checked, second Q to get wristbands and site map, third Q to register for the raffle/draw and the fourth Q was for the land yard (which wasn’t really needed).

Plenty of fun for all
Was well organised. Shame the clouds didn't allow us to see the stars but still enjoyed looking through the telescope at the dish. The film show was awesome and the science experience interesting. The interactive exhibits were fun and educational. The staff and volunteers friendly and helpful.

A wonderful experience full of interesting and interactive exhibitions with plenty of learning for young and old. The high quality shows were entertaining and engaging and gave us plenty to talk about over our hot chocolate. To be so close to the actual Lovell telescope was very exciting for a budding astronomer! It was also great to be free from the distraction of a mobile phone as it was in aeroplane mode and allowed us to be fully present in our experience. The staff throughout the site were welcoming and friendly and highly knowledgeable. A very memorable experience we would highly recommend for a family afternoon out.

Fab trip to Jodrell Bank
Fab trip to Jodrell Bank. Spent a few enjoyable hours learning about space and radio waves. Staff were on hand to answer questions, nice to have indoor picnic areas on a rainy day, enough facilities such as cafes and exhibitions to browse through, even the kids colouring area was a nice touch, finally there were entertaining shows to cap it off.

First time at an event
I have been a Boundless member since 1989 (CSMA) and have used a range of the member benefits but this was my first time at a Boundless member event. Jodrell Bank just for members wasn't crowded and was extremely well organised. It was beyond my expectations for such inexpensive tickets. I will definitely be looking into future events. Thank you

Very well organised. Plenty to do and it did not feel crowded as shows were staggered. Very helpful and friendly volunteers. This was our first Boundless members event and we will be definitely attending more in the future.

Out of this World
An excellent day out, well organised and hugely interesting. The shows were well presented and made complex details easy to understand. The only disappointing aspect was the cloudy skies which meant that the stargazing was more theoretical rather than actual but still very interesting. Thanks a lot!

A really enjoyable afternoon
A really enjoyable afternoon. We were directed in the car park and shown the entrance, given wristbands and token and directed to the first show, an interesting talk and demonstration of how stars are formed. We used our drinks vouchers in the cafe and had some tasty food followed by the film show.
A shame that the cloud made the use of telescopes not possible but the astronomy groups advice and enthusiasm was valuable and the pictures and hands on displays kept us interested until we paid a visit to the shop and left. We didn't go to the Pink Floyd concert.

It was a lovely day and fairly well organised except for the fact that the car park did not open until the start time which meant any number of cars were parked all over the countryside waiting to get in. Whoever came up with that idea must be mad if course people are going to arrive before the start time and as the first show started at 1.15 very few actually got to that one, consequently those who arrived first were some of the last to get in as they eventually relented and opened the gates early but those of us waiting around were not to know that. Very poor organisation in my opinion, at least tell people in your email that gates would not open until 1pm
