Celebrate the North Pennines Stargazing Festival with astronomy, storytelling, arts and crafts and wildlife trail. Suitable for all ages with facts, food and fun for everyone.
Join us for ‘Stars, stories and nature discoveries,’ – Monday 28 October, 5pm to 9pm, at Low Birk Hatt, Baldersdale.
Embrace the autumnal night under the warmth and comfort of fire-lit jurts to hear stories, learn about astronomy, and local wildlife with our interactive trail.
Malcom Green uses his art of storytelling to create an immersive sense of connection and belonging. His stories take people deeply into the world so that they experience being a part of its elements, drawing on our inter-connectedness with all its wonder, mystery, grief and joy.
Neill Sanders, from Go Stargazing, shares his expertise and enthusiasm for astronomy with interesting space facts, a laser-pen guided tour of the night and presents the opportunity for you to explore the secrets of the sky using high-tech telescopes. *Visibility is weather dependent.
