Try the BBC website which has info about what meteor showers happen when. http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/space/solarsystem/meteors/index.shtml
or the International Meteor Organisation
http://www.imo.net/calendar/2007 - although it might be a bit too technical
or Sky & Telescope magazine

at least 50 miles away from a large city. you would be able to see many more stars. preferably the farthest place you can find from a city. the Perseids meteorshower occurs Aug. 11 to Aug. 13 each year
for more info on astronomy go to discover.com (it's not the credit card. it's the magazine)

Usually in the sky at night-time. Patrick Moore always comes on telly a few days before and tells you when they're coming. You can't usually see them in the midlands because its often cloudy.
