High House Barn is blessed with beautiful starry-filled skies. We are delighted to offer our ‘Gaze & Graze’ event combining a delicious warming grazing meal with family-style sharing platters of homemade pies and warming vegetables with an evening with your expert astronomer, Liam Reid!
On clear nights, see up to 2,000 stars and the majestic Milky Way arching overhead with star clusters, galaxies and spectacular shooting stars. A perfect evening for just sitting back and enjoying one of Mother Nature’s finest shows.
