South Downs Dark Skies Festival Walk
Friday 11th February 2022 from 19:00pm to 21:00pm
Bignor Hill Car Park
Bignor, Pullborough, West Sussex, RH20 1PH
In celebration of the annual Dark Skies Festival, Pied a Terre would like to invite you to join us for a gentle night-time adventure walk on the South Downs.
In May 2016, the South Downs National Park became the world’s newest International Dark Sky Reserve (IDSR), and this walk will be around one of the darkest locations in the park. A true adventure and one not to be missed!
With a hugely experienced and qualified local guide leading the way, venture out onto the hills above Bignor and enjoy the vast open skies from this stunning viewpoint.
This event takes place as part of the South Downs Dark Skies Festival 2022.
Please note that this has already taken place on 11/02/2022
