Dark Skies Festival 10th anniversary 14 February - 02 March 2025

We're delighted to be showcasing our tenth Dark Skies Festival in the up-coming year - this festival will be full of activities and opportunities for you to appreciate the wonders of the night sky. Join us to celebrate this fantastic anniversary by attending a stargazing event in the North York Moors, there's lots to choose from!

The North York Moors is one of only 21 locations in the world to be recognised for pristine, dark skies. We're an International Dark Sky Reserve, awarded by DarkSky (formerly International Dark-Sky Association).

Get prepared for your star-studded visit to the North York Moors and book a stay with one of our dark skies friendly accommodation providers. Not only will you get to experience this International Dark Sky reserve for longer, you will have the opportunity to meet the fantastic businesses that help us keep our skies dark.

We hope you can join us to celebrate!
