Join a group of like-minded individuals to enjoy the wonderful dark skies over the Brecon Beacons.
Experienced astronomers will guide you around the night sky from constellations to nebula, learning the mythology and science of astronomy. No experience is needed, just an enthusiasm to learn more about the night sky.
All astronomical equipment is provided but please wrap up warm as the mountain can become very cold.
