Yorkshire Dales Dark Skies Festival 2025 (10th Anniversary)

Get ready for an unforgettable cosmic journey! Celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Yorkshire Dales Dark Skies Festival, happening from 14 February to 2 March 2025, and immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of a sky filled with stars.

Nestled in one of the UK’s most stunning landscapes, the Yorkshire Dales National Park offers a unique opportunity to gaze upon an unspoiled, light-pollution-free sky. This dark sky haven has been officially designated as a Dark Sky Reserve by DarkSky International, making it the perfect destination for stargazing and astronomical exploration.

Local businesses across the Yorkshire Dales are hosting a stellar lineup of events to bring the magic of the night sky to life. Whether you’re an aspiring astronomer or simply fascinated by the stars, there’s something for everyone!

Here we feature stargazing events taking place as part of this year’s festival; for a complete list of events, see the official Yorkshire Dales Parks Dark Skies Festival website.
