Stargazing at North Gare Beach (cancelled)
Wednesday 29th January 2025 from 19:00pm to 21:00pm
North Gare Car Park
Tees Road, Hartlepool, Cleveland, TS10 5NX, North East England
Updated 27/01/25 @ 09:30 this event has unfortunately been cancelled.
We will walk down to the beach and look up to the sky from a location with less interference from urban lighting. Experienced volunteers will guide you in looking at the stars and planets with your own eyes through our telescopes. Contemplating the vastness of the universe in space and time in relation to our lives is able to help us connect with nature and benefit our health and wellbeing. This event is run in collaboration with Teesside Astronomical Science Centre. Ticket required.
Please note that this has already taken place on 29/01/2025
