Peakside - Yorkshire Coast National Trust
Ravenscar, Scarborough, North Yorkshire, YO13 0NE, Yorkshire and The Humber England
As part of the National Parks Dark Skies Festival, we will be doing a night of Stargazing with the Whitby Astronomical Society at our Ravenscar Visitor Centre.
Visitors will be able to listen to an illustrated talk in the visitor centre before venturing out to view the star-filled sky through telescopes provided.
Hot drinks and refreshments will be available to warm up. This promises to be an opportunity to experience Ravenscar in a completely different way. Fingers crossed for clear skies!
This event takes place as part of the North York Moors Dark Skies Festival 2025.
Please note that this has already taken place on 20/02/2025
