Stargazing with Richard Darn at Sutton Bank

20th Feb 2027 20:00 - 22:00

A sky full of wonder as we get into festival mode.

This is the last in a brilliant series of events to mark the Dark Skies Festival across the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales National Parks - the biggest in the UK. We will be using powerful telescopes and binoculars to reveal a sky full of majestic objects. Expect to go on the ultimate star trek to view distant galaxies, whilst much closer to home we celebrate Jupiter looking at its best. Mars will also make an appearance, along with late winter constellations! Not to be missed.

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.
