Back by popular demand! Get ready for a one-of-a-kind outdoor adventure that combines the adorable pigs at Curly Tails with the magic of the night sky. You’ll start the evening by meeting and feeding the friendly pigs in the great outdoors. Then, gather around for a fascinating talk by UK Astronomy, where you’ll discover the wonders of the solar system. When darkness falls, if the skies are clear, we’ll dive straight into an unforgettable stargazing session, spotting the Moon and Jupiter amongst other celestial objects. If it’s cloudy, don’t worry, you’ll enjoy a second engaging astronomy talk under the night sky.
