Malham Dark Skies Evening

Malham Dark Skies Evening

Saturday 4th March 2023 from 18:30pm to 21:30pm

Malham Car Park
Malham, Skipton, North Yorkshire, BD23 4DA

Come for a dark skies walk! Walking at night can be incredible. The same familiar places can be completely new at night. It can be exciting and rewarding, leaving you feeling utterly buzzing and refreshed.

We’ll be doing the classic Dales circuit of Janet’s Foss waterfall, Gordale Scar and the epic Malham Cove at night. If we have clear skies we’ll be able to walk by the light of the full moon but we’ll also guide you through a sensory journey that’ll ramp up your feel-good factor.

Once ‘in the zone’ through this mindful activity, star gazing and the incredibly diverse landscape we’ll be in can increase your ability to feel awe. An emotion now considered more important than happiness.

Please note that this has already taken place on 04/03/2023

Event darkness

The Moon has a big impact on the visibility of celestial bodies in the night sky. Try to plan your stargazing when there is no bright Moon at night as this is when the skies will be at their darkest.

The below chart shows if and when the skies will be at their darkest during this event. Moonlight is shown in light yellow and the Sun's twilight in light blue. Midnight on the date shown is shown as a white line with sunset to the left and sunrise the next morning to the right. A black background with stars shows the best times for stargazing.
