Dark Skies 2025

  • ️Mon Mar 24 2025

Thursday 30 October 7.30-9.30pm

Join us along with Richard Darn (Dark Skies UK) for a journey into the cosmos as part of the Yorkshire Dales Dark Sky Fringe Festival.

Given clear skies we’ll have telescopes at the ready to spy wonders like Saturn and a half moon over in the west, plus a treasure strove of other heavenly sights. The event will include a relaxing walk to a suitable viewing site and even if the weather doesn’t co-operate, we’ll use a special planetarium programme inside to reveal the wonder of the night sky.

Numbers for this event are very limited so please book your place using the link below.

We look forward to welcoming you…
