Lorna Harper, Deputy Director of Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre has said: “We’re delighted to be taking part in The National Lottery Open Week this year. We’ve been fortunate to receive funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund for our fantastic new First Light Pavilion that’s currently under construction here at Jodrell Bank. Taking part in Open Week is our way of saying thank you to everyone who has bought a National Lottery ticket, helped us on our journey and made a vital contribution to supporting the future development of Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre.”

During Open Week, National Lottery players can enjoy a complimentary hot drink at Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre’s Planet Café. Simply show a recent Lottery ticket or scratch card when placing your order, sit back and enjoy on the café terrace with views of the mighty Lovell Telescope.

Ros Kerslake, Chief Executive of The National Lottery Heritage Fund and Chair of the National Lottery Forum, said: “The National Lottery Open Week is a really exciting moment in the year for us, where an amazing variety of venues and projects across the UK give thanks to National Lottery players for the £30 million they raise each week for Good Causes. Now, more than ever, people are excited to rediscover their happy place, or find a new one close to home, and we’re proud that so many incredible spaces across the sport, arts, heritage and community sectors have signed up to offer their thanks.”
