Wildeye Adventures, in collaboration with Astronomy Adventures UK, invites you to an unforgettable evening under the stars. This exciting and unique experience is perfect for adults and children aged 6 and up, offering the chance to explore the wonders of the night sky after dark.

The evening begins at 7 PM with an educational presentation, where you’ll discover fascinating facts about the moon, planets, galaxies, and nebulas. Following this, settle around a communal bonfire with a hot drink before the highlight of the night: telescopic viewing. Using advanced, professional telescopes, you’ll have the opportunity to observe the moon, various planets, distant nebulas, and even galaxies in outer space.

We welcome 25 guests per evening to this galactic experience. Advance booking is required. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn star navigation, identify constellations, and marvel at the beauty of space.

This event takes place as part of National Astronomy Week 2025.

Event darkness

The Moon has a big impact on the visibility of celestial bodies in the night sky. Try to plan your stargazing when there is no bright Moon at night as this is when the skies will be at their darkest.

The below chart shows if and when the skies will be at their darkest during this event. Moonlight is shown in light yellow and the Sun's twilight in light blue. Midnight on the date shown is shown as a white line with sunset to the left and sunrise the next morning to the right. A black background with stars shows the best times for stargazing.
