Stargazing in the New Forest with Experience Hampshire
Tuesday 27th October 2026 from 19:00pm to 21:00pm
Tilefield Equestrian
Lymington Road, Brockenhurst, Hampshire, SO42 7UE, South East England
Join Experience Hampshire for a two-hour, small-group stargazing workshop exploring the autumn night sky.
Begin with a guided tour of the constellations before using large telescopes to seek out some of the season’s celestial highlights. Depending on what is visible, targets may include the Moon and planets, the Pleiades, Andromeda Galaxy, Perseus Double Cluster, nebulae and other fascinating deep-sky objects.
Telescopes are provided, and the team will also try to capture images of some of the objects observed during the session.
The experience costs £34 per person and is entirely weather dependent, so sessions may occasionally need to be postponed or cancelled at short notice.
