Every effort has been made to verify the accuracy of the event information but we recommend contacting the event organisers before attending.

Join us on the 17th December, from 5:00pm to 7:30pm in the Walled Garden for an evening dedicated to the wonders of the night sky.

Enjoy hot drinks and homemade soup as we celebrate dark skies and anticipate the peak of the the year’s most spectacular meteor shower.

Guided by our Dark Sky Ranger, Matthew, you will have the chance to spot comets, the Milky Way, Jupiter and her moons, a variety of constellations, and perhaps even catch sight of an Aurora! Even if it’s cloudy weather, Matthew will share his extensive knowledge of astronomy, including tips on navigating and telling time by the stars.

This outdoor event is suitable for children aged 8 and above. Please dress warmly for this event.
