Stargazing evening with the Good Life Project
Friday 25th March 2022 from 18:00pm to 22:00pm
Rock Farm - Shepton Mallet
Windsor Hill, Shepton Mallet, Somerset, BA4 4JE
‘SWEDA’ (Somerset and Wessex Eating Disorder Association) and ‘The Good Life Projects’ are coming together to hold a unique (and hopefully magical) evening stargazing.
They are working closely with the Wells Astronomical Society and the Space Detectives to pull together an event like never before.
There will be some fantastic equipment on-site to take a peek at the night sky, a talk from our Space Detective and children’s activities such as ‘In the Night Sky’ and ‘Dark Sky Rangers’ will all help make the evening one to remember.
Please note that this event has already taken place on 25/03/2022
