Holworthy Farm
Holworthy Lane, Brompton Regis, Dulverton, Somerset, TA22 9NY
Super stargazing event run by our resident astronomy team Jo and Pete Richardson from Space Detectives. They will treat you to an informative stargazing introduction in our fully equipped studio overlooking Wimbleball Lake. Afterwards, we will enjoy a home cooked farmhouse meal by the fire!
Following supper, we will head up the lane for laser guided and high end telescopic observations if the skies are clear. If not, we will return to the studio for stories of the stars using the indoor planetarium projector.
Please see the Holworthy Farm website or email Gillian Payne for bookings.
