Stargazing with Somerset Levels Stargazers (FREE)
Wednesday 28th February 2024 from 19:30pm to 21:30pm
Middlezoy Village Hall
Nethermoor Road, Middlezoy, Somerset, TA7 0PG, South West England
Come and join the Somerset Levels Stargazing in collaboration with the CPRE at Middlezoy Village Hall and playing fields on 28th February and talk to the experts about what you see.
We will have telescopes set up on the playing field and binoculars for you to share and there will be plenty you can see, even with the naked eye.
Fingers crossed for a clear night but there will also be indoor displays, celebrating the wonder of our dark skies, so we will go ahead, whatever the weather.
Refreshments available in the hall so you can warm up with a nice, hot drink.
No need to book – just turn up. All are welcome to this FREE event, but donations would be appreciated, to cover costs.
Please note that this has already taken place on 28/02/2024
