Yorkshire Dales Dark Skies Night Hike
Sunday 23rd February 2025 from 18:00pm to 21:00pm
Hawes Market House
Market Place, Hawes, North Yorkshire, DL8 3QN
Gaze in awe at the Milky Way, marvel at millions of stars and soak up the unique atmosphere of an evening hike on one of our Dark Skies Night Hikes in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, a Dark Sky Reserve.
Our Night Hikes take place over the winter months so we can make the most of our nocturnal hiking experience!
We will head to heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, where there are exceptionally dark skies and a magnificent nocturnal environment.
All of our Dark Skies Night Hikes are guided by Mark Reid, a very experienced Mountain Leader who knows the Yorkshire Dales extremely well, so you can simply relax and follow Mark whilst marvelling at the night sky above!
Note that you will be informed of the exact meeting location for this event upon booking.
This event takes place as part of the 10th anniversary Yorkshire Dales Dark Skies Festival 2025.
Please note that this has already taken place on 23/02/2025
