Spring Equinox Twilight to Dark Sky Experience for Women
Saturday 18th March 2023 from 18:00pm to 21:00pm
Gilling Castle
The Avenue, Gilling East, North Yorkshire, YO62 4HP
This is a wonderful opportunity to switch off, slow down and take time out. Align yourself with the rhythms of nature and the nearing Spring Equinox where day and night lengths are equal. Embrace the still present darkness – but celebrate the emerging new light.
Our evening is set in ancient woodlands around 30 minutes north of York in a wonderfully rural location close to Gilling Castle. The peace here has a depth you don’t find in towns and cities. Plus, its higher vantage point reveals fantastic views and big skies – ideal for this experience.
