Exmoor Dark Skies Festival 2017

The Exmoor Dark Skies Festival 2017 takes place between 19th and 29th October 2017. It features numerous astronomically themed events including everything from space-movies through to astrophotography tuition and public stargazing. Many of the events take place during half-term and are perfect for families with space-interested children!

The festival celebrates the wonderful dark skies above Exmoor which lead it to becoming recognised by the International Dark Sky Association as Europe’s very first Dark Sky Reserve in Autumn 2011.

Below we have specifically featured the stargazing events taking place however there’s much more going on — for further details visit the official page Exmoor National Park Dark Skies Festival 2017.
