About this Event
Discover the Dark Skies of Botton Village: A Stargazing Experience
Botton Village will be hosting a Stargazing Night for the Geminids Meteor Shower!
Escape to the tranquillity of Botton Village, a Camphill Village Trust community nestled within the breathtaking North York Moors National Park, a designated Dark Skies Reserve. Join us for an unforgettable evening under a blanket of stars to connect with the cosmos.
Join us on Saturday, 13th December, 19:30 – 21:30, for one of the most spectacular meteor showers of the year. 💫
The evening will include:
A talk and laser-guided tour of the night sky
Stargazing and telescopes
Hot drinks (included in the ticket price)
And even some real meteorites to see up close!
Our laser-guided stargazing event will be expertly led by Cosmic Wonders, Sophie Carroll - an experienced science educator, Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, and Associate Member of the Institute of Physics. Sophie will illuminate the wonders of the night sky and share fascinating insights into stars, planets, and constellations.
Bring a blanket and get cosy on a deckchair as we watch the Geminids light up the sky.
This event is suitable for ages 10+ and limited to 30 places, so booking is essential!
In the event of cloudy weather, we will move inside our beautiful hall, where we will explore the universe through a large screen projection. If the skies are clear, you are welcome to stay a little longer to look through the telescopes and continue marvelling at the magic of the cosmos.
