Join astronomer Richard Darn for a stunning view of the early spring night sky in the ultra-dark village of Keld in Upper Swaledale.
This event is part of the Yorkshire Dales Dark Sky Festival 2022, and we’ll take you on a magical tour using powerful telescopes to spy distant galaxies and sparkling star clusters.
There will also be colourful talks to set the scene in the resource centre and warm refreshments and cake. It goes ahead in all weather (unless conditions are dangerous).
Please note that this has already taken place on 19/02/2022
