SUMMARY:Bugs\, bats\, birds and bloody light pollution
DESCRIPTION:**Cancelled due to Storm Babet weather warning** \nWe 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. \nAfter Martin’s talk (and if the sky is clear) we will do some informal stargazing at the Bowlees Dark Sky Discovery Site. \nBring 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. \nPre-booking is essential. \n\n\n\n                \n                \n\n\nThis event is part of the North Pennines Stargazing Festival running from 20 October to 5 November 2023 – www.NorthPenninesStarFest.org.uk #NorthPennStarFest23 #NPennDarkSkies

SUMMARY:Stargazing at the Crewe
DESCRIPTION:Join the Lord Crewe team in The Gatehouse at the Lord Crewe\, Blanchland for an evening of stargazing with Andy Gray. Andy is an expert in his field and will give a beginners’ guide to the starry sky. \nIf 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. A great time to see the Milky Way and the Summer Triangle. The Moon will be rising by the end of the evening (10.30pm) – so a good time top spot deep sky objects will be at the start of the night. \nThe evening includes stargazing with a hot drink\, followed by a two-course supper. Please let them know if you have any special dietary requirements. \nThe Gatehouse is a 12th Century building accessed via external stone steps and has steps of various sizes throughout.

SUMMARY:Stargazing experience at High Force waterfall
DESCRIPTION:**Note that there are two further sessions on this date: 8.30 to 10.30pm; and 9.45 to 11.45pm. If when you visit the Star Safari booking website you can’t see one of these time slots that means they are fully booked and have been hidden from view.** \nEnjoy a night under the stars\, at a very special place. High Force is the largest waterfall in the country\, and is an awesome spectacle at any time of the day. At night\, though\, it is a special place you will remember for the rest of your life. \nThe Star Safaris team will meet at the High Force Hotel\, for an indoor briefing and presentation\, before walking down to the waterfall together. On the way\, you will learn about the unique landscape and what makes it so special as a dark sky site. The skies above the waterfall are among the darkest in Europe\, and the surrounding cliffs ensure a truly dark experience. Your guide will light the waterfall up\, so you will be able to take selfies and other photographs with your phone. \nIf the sky is clear\, we will go dark as quickly as possible and start looking at the night sky. This will be done as a group experience\, by a guide\, with a laser pointer. Unlike observatory events\, you won’t spend your time queueing for a telescope. When conditions are especially clear\, we may use astronomy binoculars. \nYou will leave the event with a greater knowledge of the night sky\, and how to find key objects and constellations on your own. More than that\, though\, you will have spent some time in the dark at a spectacular natural location\, which is normally only accessible in daylight. \nUnfortunately\, because of limited space at the location\, do not bring camera tripods\, or dogs. Bring warm/waterproof clothes/a torch (red light if you have one). \nPre-booking is essential via https://www.starsafaris.com/highforce \nThis event run by Star Safaris is part of the North Pennines Stargazing Festival running from 20 October to 5 November 2023 – www.NorthPenninesStarFest.org.uk #NorthPennStarFest23 #NPennDarkSkies
