After a warm welcome reception from Liz, Gary & Linda under our ambient lit 16th Century barn, we get stretching our freshly prepared 230g pizza dough...

Top your own pizza with a selection of italian meats, cheeses (vegan/GF upon request) and antipasti and wait whilst it bubbles under wood fire...they will come out one by one

(this might require 1-2 min wait pp)

Liz works with the clarity of the sky and will take you straight out to find Saturn's rings, Jupiter, Andromeda, shooting stars and other galaxies in our 7 telescopes and binocular sets

Watch our giant projected indoorShow with warming hot chocolate...

Complete your evening toasting GIANT gooey marshmallows around the firepit and say hello to the Wright's Care Farm sheep, goats and calves...

A sweet experience for first time astronomers; Stars, sweet treats and smooth Galaxy hot chocolate.

​

Arrive with the telescopes already pointing at Saturn, waiting for Jupiter and other constellations and galaxies for everyone to take their turn to enjoy.

​

WE WORK WITH THE SKY!

So, if its cloudy first, we go inside to enjoy a short astronomy Show on how to navigate the night sky....

​

...followed by nattering over

warming hot chocolate and cake then out into the dark if the skies clear.

If its rainy or cloudy WE STILL GO AHEAD! 

Guests take away lots of exceptional information even with our Show,

PLUS a free Dark Skies Pocket Guide.

​

Feel free to bring a head torch and download the Stellarium app on to your Android/Apple device.

Wrap up VERY warm - scarves and thick socks are a God send!
