Dark Sky Celebratory Meal and Stargazing Walk
Friday 18th October 2024 from 18:15pm to 22:00pm
Exford Bridge Tea Rooms
Chapel Street, Exford, Somerset, TA24 7PY
Wild About Exmoor have teamed together with the Exford Bridge Tea Rooms, which is one of Exmoor National Park’s Dark Sky Reserve Hubs to deliver a Dark Sky Celebratory Event which everyone is welcome to book onto. The event comprises a delicious home cooked meal, followed by an informative presentation all about Exmoor Dark Skies.
If the weather is clear, we will head out for a short walk into the Dark Sky Reserve to stargaze, using the latest laser and computer guided telescopes and equipment. If the weather is inclement, we will stay in the warmth and cosiness of the tea rooms and go “star hopping” using the indoor virtual planetarium projector instead.
This event takes place as part of the Exmoor Dark Skies Festival 2024, running from the 18th of October to the 3rd November.
