Norfolk Coast Dark Skies Festival 2024 Launch Event
Thursday 10th October 2024 from 18:30pm to 21:30pm
Southrepps Village Hall
Chapel Street, Southrepps, Norfolk, NR11 8NW, East of England
The Norfolk Coast Partnership are excited to host the launch event for this year’s Dark Skies programme at Southrepps Village Hall!
Join us at this free event to learn more about the dark skies in your Norfolk Coast Protected Landscape and experience them for yourself. Immerse yourself in traditional coastal culture, discover the wildlife that comes out after dark and of course, spend some time staring up at the sky during a guided tour of the galaxies. With a steaming cup of hot chocolate and a slice of cake of course!
Please arrive at 18:30 for some refreshments and an opening performance by pianist, Ant Shiels.
We will also hear a talk by Neil Philipson from Outsideology about A tour of the night’s sky, and have an opportunity to take part in some Stargazing (weather permitting) and other Dark Skies activities.
Please note that this has already taken place on 10/10/2024
