Stargazing with Richard Darn at Sutton Bank

30th Oct 2026 20:00 - 22:00

Autumn constellations dominate the sky

If you have never seen the rings of Saturn then this is the perfect opportunity. Tonight it stands at a little under 800 million miles from the Earth. What is more the rings are more visible than last year so the planet is looking great! Using powerful telescopes, you will get a close up view to see the ultimate outward bound experience. Elsewhere the moon is on the rise and the Great Summer Triangle of three bright stars dominates the view overhead.

This event is being staged in collaboration with Go Stargazing!

The Hub 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. We advise you to wear sensible outdoor footwear and wrap up warm. Bring a torch.

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 and two flashing red LEDs on the barrier.

Tickets: £19.75

Includes warm refreshments and the booking fee.
