Health & Safety procedures within the Godlee Observatory are maintained for the safety of members, staff and visitors to the observatory. Currently this restricts the minimum age of persons that can enter the Godlee dome area (where the telescopes are situated) and the spiral staircase to 18 years. All visitors must be accompanied by a trained warden when entering the Godlee dome. The walkway on the outside of the dome is no longer accessible, so please do not ask to view or photograph the Manchester skyline. All persons in the Godlee Observatory complex must observe all safety procedures and notices as indicated or advised.

All group visits must be pre-arranged to ensure there is an appropriate number of trained personnel present; this may require a risk assessment -
All visitors will receive safety instruction upon arrival
