Join us in our Gatehouse for an evening of stargazing with Andy Gray. Andy is an expert in his field and will give a beginners’ guide to the starry sky.
If the weather is clear, expect a trip to the bottom of our garden to have a look through the telescopes.
Wrap up in our blankets and enjoy a hot drink to keep you warm. There will be a hearty stew and a delicious pud to greet you in The Gatehouse afterwards.
