Go Stargazing at Sutton Bank - Leonids Meteor Shower

Autumn constellations dominate the sky but winter is not far away!

We are staging this star party in the run up to the peak of the famous Leonid meteor shower. With luck we should be able to see some of these shooting stars meeting a firey doom overhead. There is also Saturn looking amazing, whilst constellations like Cygnus and Pegasus ride high. We’ll give you a guided tour so you can soak in the view with telescopes and binoculars at the ready.

This event is being staged in collaboration with our friends at Go Stargazing!

The Hub provides a warm indoor space for colourful presentations with a purpose built viewing area alongside. If it’s cloudy we will still see stars thanks to a brilliant computer based planetarium show.

The North York Moors National Park is an international dark sky reserve. We advise you to wear sensible outdoor footwear and wrap up warm. Bring a torch.

Please note the Hub is not part of the main Sutton Bank visitor centre building, but located one hundred metres away at the north west corner of the complex. It has its own car park – just drive through the raised barrier. Look out for the red external lights on the Hub and two flashing red LEDs on the barrier.

Ticket price includes warm refreshments and booking fee.
