Here at Grassington Bunk Barn, we have the excellent opportunity to host an evening of stargazing with expert Astronomer Richard Darn. You are spotting ancient constellations and finding distant galaxies.
This is a fun, practical session to take your Astro knowledge to a new level, with a laser-guided tour and binoculars and telescopes to unlock some of the treasures of the cosmos. You will even get to handle space rocks over four billion years old! Great for kids over six and adults.
This event is part of the Yorkshire Dales Dark Skies Festival 2024.
