The annual AMSAT-UK colloquium is fast approaching.
Once again, it is being held at The Kent’s Hill Conference Centre in Milton Keynes alongside the RSGB Convention on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th October 2026.
Unfortunately, the Delta by Marriott hotel near to Kents Hill is not available this year for accommodation or the Gala Dinner so AMSAT-UK has booked the Woughton House Hotel, Newport Road, Woughton-on-the-Green, Milton Keynes, MK6 3LR, as an alternative. It is approximately a 5 minute drive from Kents Hill.
Details of the hotel, and available accommodation, can be found at https://hotelwoughtonhouse.co.uk/
The AMSAT-UK Gala Dinner will be held at the Woughton House Hotel on the evening of Saturday 10th October 2026.
This will be a 3 course meal with tea / coffee which is priced at £39.00 per person. Attendance is restricted this year and a limited number of tickets are on sale at the AMSAT-UK shop at https://shop.amsat-uk.org/product/amsat-uk-gala-dinner-2026.
If you would like a weekend of all things satellite and some good lectures from the AMSAT-UK and the RSGB, please book now and we’ll look forward to seeing you there.
Please note that you will be required to book a weekend ticket from the RSGB for attendance. Please see the RSGB booking website at https://www.tickettailor.com/events/radiosocietyofgreatbritain/2048785
