The all new visitor attraction includes a new entrance building - the Planet Pavilion - and a new exhibition and events building - the Space Pavilion. A new cafe - which will be operated by the guys who currently run the Award winning cafe inside the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester and who focus on regional produce - has a glass wall with amazing views of the Lovell telescope. No doubt that this will become the destination of choice for Cheshire's Afternoon Tea Set.
The gardens have also had a make-over, with a new space themed (what else?) garden, designed by TV Gardener Chris Beardshaw.
Jodrell Bank really is on a roll at the moment. Not only is whirlwind Director Teresa Anderson leading the transformation of the facility into one of the region's best new visitor attractions, she is also spearheading the application to get Jodrell Bank recognised as a World Heritage Site! All this, and still the site is working round the clock as the UK's national radio astronomy facility, conducting international research!
