**Cancelled due to Storm Babet weather warning**

We know that light pollution makes it difficult for us to see the wonders of the night sky in all of their glory, but what does it do to our health, and how does it impact the natural world. Join Dr Martin Kitching, Director of Northern Experience Wildlife Tours, to delve into the murky world of twilight and beyond.

After Martin’s talk (and if the sky is clear) we will do some informal stargazing at the Bowlees Dark Sky Discovery Site.

Bring warm/waterproof clothes/a torch (red light if you have one). No dogs please – they’re a trip hazard in the dark. The walk from the car park to the visitor centre is unlit and follows an uneven path/stone steps – a torch is essential.

Pre-booking is essential.

This event is part of the North Pennines Stargazing Festival running from 20 October to 5 November 2023 – www.NorthPenninesStarFest.org.uk #NorthPennStarFest23 #NPennDarkSkies
