The event begins at 12 noon and will include presentations by special guests, including Professor Colin Pillinger - one of the few Britons who worked on the Apollo programme - and Andrew Smith, author of "Moondust: In Search of the Men Who Fell to Earth", in which he interviewed astronauts who have walked on the Moon.
