Our Awards

Up there with the stars…

#Winning

The Lovell Telescope is an icon for Cheshire and beyond, and it’s safe to say we’ve been seen from afar winning a number of regional and national awards across the UK.

We are very thankful for the acknowledgements we’ve received from other organisations and businesses; reminding us that the hard work we put in is worth it. We’re also proud to be recognised for what we are and what we continue to become; an award winning attraction, a remarkable site of heritage and science and a progressive organisation full of wonder and discovery. 

Thank you everyone!
