Festival Stars and a Stunning Moon
Saturday 17th February 2024 from 19:30pm to 21:30pm
Sutton Bank Star Hub
Sutton Bank National Park Centre, Thirsk, North Yorkshire, YO7 2EX
We'll also hand around rocks from outer space and take you on a journey across the sky. Plus we've also got a notable reduction in ticket prices to mark the Festival.
The Star Hub at Sutton Bank provides a warm indoor space for colourful presentations with a purpose-built viewing area. We will still see stars if it's cloudy, thanks to a brilliant computer-based planetarium show.
This event is part of the North York Moors Dark Skies Festival 2024 which occurs from the 9th of February to the 25th of February.
Please note that this has already taken place on 17/02/2024
