Star, planet and galaxy gazing...

Enjoy an evening of stargazing with a supper of soup and fireside connection overlooking the stunning Deerness Valley!

The Bishop Auckland Astronomical Society will join us, bringing their telescopes to reveal the night sky on November 7th.

If the skies are clear, we can anticipate viewing several galaxies, star clusters, nebulae, and the magnificent ring system of Saturn, which spans 174,000 miles, along with Uranus and Neptune!

We might also catch a glimpse of the International Space Station and some Geminids (meteors) 🤞

We'll meet at Broompark Picnic area at 6 pm for a gentle evening walk (just under a mile) to our stargazing spot at Abundant Earth. There, you'll be welcomed with warm drinks, soup, and a cozy fireside under our beautiful canvas shelter, ensuring warmth and dryness regardless of the weather.

Please bring warm layers, hats, gloves, and a torch. Don't worry if the skies aren't so clear…
