Worthy Farm
Worthy Lane, Shepton Mallet, Somerset, BA4 4BY

Worthy Farm, home of the World-renowned Glastonbury Music and Festival of Performing Arts, is open to the public for camping around the peak of the Perseids meteor shower. This means it is possible to view one of the best shooting star displays from one of the most endearing locations!

So sit back and relax with family, friends and your fellow campers in the darkness of the Stone Circle field, and watch as many as 80 meteors per hour at the peak on the night of Thursday 12th August into the early hours of Friday 13th August. The nights either side of this date should be awesome too!

Prio booking is required! For full details, including on how to book, see the Worthy Pastures website.

Please note that this event has already taken place on 12/08/2021

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.
