North Pennines Star Camp - Autumn 2023

Join astronomers Richard Darn and Neill Sanders from Go Stargazing for an astronomical weekend in Teesdale.

This star camp is perfect for novice astronomers including adults and children aged six and over.

Telescopes will be provided, along with expert guidance, and you are welcome to bring your equipment, too, including cameras (with tripods) and binoculars.

There will also be astronomy-themed talks, solar observing and a bottle rocket competition.

Saturn will look amazing over the weekend, with a super bright Jupiter and a big Moon visible, too. The views are sure to blow your socks off!

We will also be celebrating International Observe the Moon Night 2023.

You will arrive on Friday night for a mulled wine reception at 7 pm – stargazing will be available (weather permitting) on Friday and Saturday nights; depart on Sunday. Bring warm clothing and a red light torch (if you have one).

Pitch fees are £30 per night with electric hookup, £25 without, plus £10 per person per night astronomy fee (£8 for under 16’s).

Please get in touch with Doe Park Caravan Site on 01833 650302 or email [email protected] for all bookings.

This event is part of the North Pennines Stargazing Festival 2023, running from the 20th of October to the 5th of November, 2023. #NorthPennStarFest23 #NPennDarkSkies
