Go Stargazing at Sutton Bank - Perseids Meteor Shower

One of the year’s best displays of shooting stars

Make no mistake the Perseids is one of the top two meteor showers of the year. The wait for the sky to darken is worth it as our event coincides with the event’s predicted peak. What is more the Milky Way should hove into view and we may even glimpse Saturn rising in the east!

We’ll have powerful telescopes and binoculars for you to use to share the view. Definately not to be missed!

This event is being staged in collaboration with our friends at Go Stargazing! Together we are committed to making stargazing accessible and affordable – viewing the heavens shouldn’t cost the earth.

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 with low levels of light pollution. We advise you to wear sensible outdoor footwear and wrap up warm.

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.
