Stargazing at Cosmic Cwtsh
Wednesday 14th December 2022 from 18:30pm to 21:30pm
Penbont House Tearooms, Bed and Breakfast
Penbont House, Elan Valley, LH6 5HS
Come and join us for a festive stargazing party at Cosmic Cwtsh, our stargazing shelter in the Elan Valley. If the skies are clear, we will head up to Cosmic Cwtsh for a quick rundown on how to spot constellations and impress your friends. Our dark sky team will be on hand to give you a guided tour of the universe using telescopes and binoculars. As a bonus, the Geminid Meteor shower will peak, so we may spot ‘shooting stars’.
Please note that this has already taken place on 14/12/2022
