Siblyback Lake Activity Centre - Bodmin Moor
Tremar, Liskeard, PL14 6ER
Join astronomers from Caradon Observatory and the team South West Lakes Trust for an autumnal stargazing experience at Siblyback Lake.
Designated in 2017 by the International Dark Sky Association, Siblyback Lake on Bodmin Moor is an International Dark Sky Landscape, offering a fantastic opportunity to see and learn more about the magnificent Bodmin Moor Dark Skies.
This will consist of a talk and presentation indoors, followed by some outdoor stargazing if the weather permits, where we should be seeing Saturn, the main focus for the evening, as well as Neptune, the Moon and Jupiter.
*Please note this event is weather dependent, and will be moved to Saturday 30th September if conditions are more suitable.
Please note that this has already taken place on 29/09/2023
