Danby Lodge National Park Centre
Lodge Lane, Danby, North Yorkshire, YO21 2NB
Join us for a twilight wander around the grounds of Danby Lodge. We’ll lead you on a shadowy stroll through the woods, stopping here and there to investigate life in the dark.
We’ll have refreshments and some telescopes out with local astronomy experts in case of a clear night. The price includes soup and a roll from Park Life café, drinks available at your own cost.
This event is part of the North York Moors Dark Skies Fringe Festival 2024.
