Far from the glow of city lights, the Upper Kingston Farm holiday cottages offer an ideal backdrop for discovering the beauty of the night sky.
This special astronomy evening blends engaging expert talks with guided stargazing sessions. You’ll uncover the stories of constellations, planets, and distant galaxies before stepping outside to view them yourself through powerful telescopes.
Whether you’re new to stargazing or already a keen observer, it’s a memorable opportunity to connect with the universe in one of the UK’s most stunning natural settings.
Wrap up warm, bring your curiosity, and prepare for a night of stars, stories, and discovery.
