Lord Crewe Arms

Join the team from the Lord Crewe Arms in their Gatehouse for an evening of stargazing with local astronomer Andy Gray. Andy is an expert in his field and will give a beginner’s guide to the starry sky. If the weather is clear, expect a trip to the bottom of our garden to look through the telescopes. Wrap up in our blankets and enjoy a hot drink to keep you warm. A hearty stew and a delicious pud will greet you in The Gatehouse afterwards.
This event is part of the North Pennines Stargazing Festival 2023, running from the 20th of October to the 5th of November, 2023. #NorthPennStarFest23 #NPennDarkSkies
