Experience the dazzling starry skies in the Lake District National Park with an expert astronomer at one of Near Howe's dedicated stargazing events.
We'll be joined by Andy Gray, an astronomer and a science teacher for 20 years. Andy's presented at the North Pennies Stargazing Festival since 2015 as well as other venues, so we're delighted he'll be joining us.
You'll enjoy an inspiring astronomical presentation, ideally suited for beginners and novices, before heading outdoors for a laser guided tour of the constellations.
Using telescopes and binoculars you'll be able to observe planets, galaxies, nebulae and star clusters (subject to the weather).
In poor weather, if there's a gap in the clouds, we'll get you outside straight away; otherwise, you're welcome to join the outside section of a future stargazing event (subject to availability).
Tickets are £25 per adult and £15 for children and include hot drinks and biscuits and must be pre-booked. We also offer accommodation packages, so do get in touch if you'd like to stay with us for the weekend.
