Festival Stars and a Stunning Moon SOLD OUT

17th Feb 2024 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

As part of the North York Moors Dark Sky Festival we are spending a night on the moon! You will be amazed by how much we can see on the lunar surface using telescopes. And what is more we will show you how to take a stunning picture with your smartphone. We'll also hand around rocks from outer space and take you on a journey across the sky. Plus we've also got a special reduction on ticket prices to mark the Festival.

The Star Hub at Sutton Bank provides a warm indoor space for colourful presentations with a purpose built viewing area alongside. If it's cloudy we will still see stars thanks to a brilliant computer based planetarium show.

The North York Moors National Park is an international dark sky reserve with low levels of light pollution. We advise you to wear sensible outdoor footwear and wrap up warm. Bring binoculars if you have them, although we will supply the telescopes!

Please note the Hub is not part of the main Sutton Bank visitor centre building, but located one hundred metres away at the north west corner of the complex. It has its own car park - just drive through the raised barrier. Look out for the red external lights on the Hub.
