Talk and stargazing opportunity at Alston Moor Golf Club – a truly dark site in the South Tyne Valley. This will be a double event in one evening: firstly there will be a stargazing event with talks and stargazing; and secondly it is an ideal opportunity to see the brand new observatory which has been developed at the Golf Club. Arrive by 6.30 pm for tea/coffee, for event start at 7.00 pm (finish approximately 9.00 pm). No dogs please – they are a trip hazard in the dark. Advance booking is essential. Note that if the skies are cloudy the event will still go ahead – with astronomers giving presentations, providing information and answering questions on all things 'dark skies'.
