Come and join our astronomer "The Starsmith" for an evening of spotting shooting stars in the inky sky above the Station Inn.
The Yorkshire Dales National Park has been designated a "Dark Sky Reserve" by the International Dark Sky Association and on a clear night as well as 1000's of stars & some distant planets, the Milky Way is often clearly visible.
There will be a presentation next to the roaring fire in the Victorian range during which you will be served with a lovely bowl of hotpot to ensure you are nice and warm before heading outside to see what the night sky has to offer. You will go on a cosmic journey through the solar system learning what you can see with your eyes, binoculars and telescopes. Then we will travel deeper into space! There will also be a brief introduction into nightscape photography for those budding photographers. Weather providing you will be able to go outside and look through large skywatcher telescopes to see the amazing night sky.
However as its winter do make sure you bring woolly hats and blankets! And importantly also bring a torch!!
