Valentine's Day Stargazing in Dalby Forest with Astro Dog
Friday 14th February 2025 from 19:00pm to 21:00pm
Dalby Forest Courtyard
Low Dalby, Thornton-le-Dale, North Yorkshire, YO18 7LT
Fancy something a little different to celebrate Valentines Day? Why not visit the team from Astro Dog in the magical Dalby Forest for a special adults only valentines day stargazing experience?
The winter night skies offer a different array of celestial treats to gaze upon compared to our autumn and spring stargazing events, with the added bonus of our stargazing events starting earlier!
We will be setting up an array of large aperture telescopes and have the chance to look at some amazing celestial objects including planets, star clusters, galaxies, nebulae and more. If we are lucky, we could maybe even be treated to the Northern Lights.
This event occurs during the North York Moors Dark Skies Festival 2025.
Please note that this has already taken place on 14/02/2025
