Are we alone in the universe? This question has fascinated humans for a long time, and it has regularly come up as a conversation topic on previous stargazing events at the Lord Crewe.

Come and listen to Andy Gray, the hotel’s resident stargazing expert, on Friday 30 October 2026, 7pm to 10pm, and find out what the current thinking is, about the possibilities for other life out there.

If the weather is clear, expect a trip to the bottom of the garden to have a look through the telescopes. Wrap up in blankets and enjoy a hot drink to keep you warm. There will be a hearty stew and a delicious dessert to greet you in The Gatehouse afterwards.

Book you place in advance at:
