In celebration of the annual Dark Skies Festival 2024, we would like to invite you to join us for a series of gentle night-time adventure walks on the South Downs.
Whether clear or cloudy, this is a true adventure and not to be missed!
With a hugely experienced and qualified local guide leading the way, venture out into the South Downs National Park and enjoy the vast open skies from viewpoints at some stunning locations.
Along the trail, your guide will pause to enlighten you on the fascinating natural history and geology of the area – there may even be time to refine some night navigation skills.
Please note that this has already taken place on 16/02/2024
