There's a large number of events taking place across the UK, giving you the chance to view the Transit of Venus in a safe, comfortable way. Locations range from a golf club car park to a Southampton shopping mall; you might meet astronomers in costume or see pigeons being released.
All events listed here are for the day of the Transit itself, 8th June 2004, unless otherwise stated.
