Dedham Vale Dark Sky Fair 2024

To commemorate the International Dark Skies Week 2024, Dedham Vale are holding a FREE Dark Skies Fair at Boxted Village Hall on Sunday April 7th from 3:30pm to 10:00pm.  There will be lots of activities for both young and old.

There will be a number of speakers to talk about the night skies and the effects of the encroaching light pollution on our beautiful National Landscape. Topics will range from Wildlife and Nature to our own health.  There will also be a number of astronomy talks including: recognising the night skies, our solar system, and buying a telescope.

In addition, the event includes practical workshops where there will be a number of experts on hand to help you with telescope workshops and one to one advice sessions.  If you want to know something about your equipment then bring it along and they will show you how to use it.

This is a free event and no prior booking is required, however please email DedhamValeAstronomy@gmail.com to let them know how many of you will be attending.
