Dark Sky Walk in the Olympic Park

Join the team from Dark Sky London for a nocturnal walk in the Olympic Park to explore our surroundings in a different light!

The experts who accompany you will talk about bat monitoring in the park, stargazing in urban environments, approaches to lighting design and reducing light pollution.

During this two hour walk, we will be stopping at various points across the park to discuss these issues, including doing a star count – weather permitting! The route will be wheelchair accessible.

This event is part of CPRE’s annual Star Count, a broader campaign to raise awareness about the scale of light pollution across the UK, which aims to connect people to the wonder of starry skies. A starry sky is an incredible sight, but light pollution often hides our view of the stars, especially in cities.

Join us on Wednesday the 2nd of March from 6.30 pm for a prompt 7 pm start. Dress warmly.

We will be meeting under the projecting roof of the London Aquatics Centre (the Olympic swimming pool) on Stratford Walk – just a 10-minute walk from Stratford station. Look out for the branded CPRE High Visibility tabards.
