Join astronomer Richard Darn at the fabulous boutique retreat of Dalby High House for a family-friendly stargazing experience, run in collaboration with Adventures for the Soul.
Set in the middle of Dalby Forest, the location could not be more perfect, being one of the darkest places in North York Moors. High Dalby House even has its own observatory!
Enjoy hot drinks and a BBQ before setting off for a short, sensory saunter that’ll fine-tune your senses, then observing the fantastic dark skies using telescopes.
