Sensory Stargazing Safari & Night Walk Experience with Adventures for the Soul
Saturday 29th March 2025 from 19:30pm to 22:30pm
Robin Hood's Bay Car Park
Robin Hood's Bay Road, Whitby, North Yorkshire, YO22 4QN
When the skies are clear and it’s close to a new moon, what you’ll see here will take your breath away. Standing on the coastline looking out to sea, you’ll be greeted by an inky darkness and a huge star-filled sky – if clear.
Meanwhile you’ll hear the rhythmical sound of waves on the shore, smell salty sea air and feel the breeze against your skin. It’s refreshing, rejuvenating and massively up-lifting.
Although clear skies can’t be guaranteed, you’ll still feel the benefits of embracing the dark and heading outdoors. Night walking is a wonderful mood booster and makes you feel exhilarated. This is because your primary sense – sight – takes a back seat while all your other senses become alive. Weave in a secret formula along the way, and your ability to feel awe increases. An emotion now considered more important than happiness.
But that’s not all! You’ll find out a little more about planet earth, stars and planets and discover you’re actually looking back in time. You’ll also learn about the geology of this coastline too, as the area is steeped in ancient rocks and fossils, akin to the dinosaur coast.
Certainly, you’ll leave feeling invigorated – and very much alive!
