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. \nPre-booking essential via https://www.starsafaris.com/highforce \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). \nNo minimum age – involves a 1.2km (round trip) walk on a gravel path. \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 URL:https://northpennines.org.uk/event/stargazing-experience-at-high-force-waterfall-4/ LOCATION:High Force Hotel\, The High Force Hotel\, Alston Rd\, Forest-in-Teesdale\, DL12 0XH ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://northpennines.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/High-Force-2020-Final-Edit_LOWER-e1758630910500.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20231103T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20231103T220000 DTSTAMP:20260604T232729 CREATED:20230915T134628Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230919T153358Z UID:10000279-1699039800-1699048800@northpennines.org.uk SUMMARY:Stargazing suppers at High Force DESCRIPTION:A magical evening of stargazing and fine dining.
