SUMMARY:Lantern making and night-time mine trip
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the dark skies of the North Pennines and join us for a free mine trip like no other at this evening event held at Nenthead Mines\, near Alston\, Tuesday 29 October\, 2pm to 6pm. \nDuring this workshop you will learn how to make your own paper lantern that you will get to take away with you. Following the workshop you will then be able to walk in the footsteps of miners past\, and process through the mine using your lantern. \nThis includes an underground tour of the mine led by knowledgeable volunteers from Nenthead Mines Conservation Society. \nAccessibility information: the walk through the mine site and the underground portion is generally level and flat. The underground tour is generally tall enough to walk at full height\, although the first approximately 30m requires you to duck as this is the shortest part of the mine. There are two short ladders to climb as part of the mine tour which have handrails and are firmly installed. Suitable for children ages 7+. Please note any children joining will need to be able to walk by themselves. \nThis event is part of the North Pennines Stargazing Festival running from 25 October to 3 November 2024 – www.NorthPenninesStarFest.org\n#NorthPennStarFest24 #NPennDarkSkies \nPlease use the Ticketsource link to book. \n\n\n\n                \n                \n\n\nNo designated parking\, but drop-off near door. Not wheelchair accessible. No accessible toilet. \nThis event is not suitable for dogs. \n      \n

SUMMARY:Family friendly astronomy
DESCRIPTION:Join the team at the North Pennines Observatory for this family friendly creative introduction to astronomy – bringing together art and science to explore the constellations and our near planets as viewed from the North Pennines. \nGuest astronomer\, Roy Alexander\, will start with a beginner’s guide around the night sky. If the sky is clear you’ll be outside looking up with laser pointers to identify the cosmos looking in particular\, for Saturn\, Jupiter and the constellations of Taurus\, the Seven Sisters\, and much\, much more. If it’s cloudy\, no worries we’ll use our astronomy software and big screen projection to show you a virtual image of the ‘live’ sky that night. \nBut it won’t stop there\, ACA’s creative director and artist Alan Smith will overlap with Roy to take you back through art history looking at how humankind has creatively interpreted the cosmos through some incredible artwork. You will then have the opportunity to draw your own map of the cosmos and create your own constellations to take home. \n\nThis event is suitable for families (8 years +) or anyone of any age or ability wanting to explore the wonders of the universe.\n\nAdvance booking is essential via https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/family-friendly-creative-introduction-to-astronomy-tickets-1024914235067 \n\n£12.50 concessions (under 18)\n£19 adult (18+)\n£52 family (2 adults\, 2 children)\n\nNorth Pennines Observatory @ ACA\, Allenheads Contemporary Arts\, Old School House\, Allenheads\, Hexham\, Northumberland NE47 9HR. Visit https://www.acart.org.uk/observatory-allenheads for details. \nIf the sky is clear\, we’ll open up the observatory to take a closer look at the night sky after the talk and arts activities. Observing the skies is weather-dependent\, but you’ll be pleased to know that events go ahead whatever the weather. The team at the observatory aim to deliver exciting and interesting events every time. \nWrap up warm and bring a red light torch (if you have one). All art materials provided. Access to the North Pennines Observatory is via a steep access road and has limited space for parking – please park considerately in the village and walk up or message (helenshead@acart.org.uk) to reserve a parking space. Warm drinks will be provided. \nDoors open 6.15 pm. Please arrive early for welcome hot drinks. The presentation will allow plenty of time for questions and discussion. Finish time may be extended to continue stargazing on a clear night. \nAsk about stargazing sleepovers at the onsite accommodation at the Observatory Cabin (up to 3 people) or the larger 4-bedroom accommodation at the Old School House. Book for this event or another private\, bespoke stargazing experience.
