BACK GARDEN 1-HOUR STARGAZING EXPERIENCE

Have you ever wanted to explore the night sky with an experienced astronomer from your own back garden? Here we make it possible! Our astronomer will visit your home and set up a large portable telescope in your garden. We’ll choose a clear night and likely begin with a laser-guided tour of the stars and constellations. We’ll then take you and your family & friends on a journey out across the universe in search of distant star systems and star clusters, nebulae and we’ll even look for the glow from distant galaxies in the telescope! Should we have planets that are easily visible from your garden then we’ll get a look at those too in the telescope

AREAS COVERED: Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, Oxfordshire, Surrey, Essex, Berkshire, Hampshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, Warwickshire, West Midlands, East Sussex, West Sussex, Kent, Nottinghamshire, Norfolk, Suffolk 

In the 1-hour Back Garden Stargazing Experience Gift Box you get:

• A 1-hour stargazing experience gift voucher valid for 2 years initially, which can be extended for a further year free of charge if required.
• Instructions on how to use the voucher and how to book a date (please note we operate on about a 6-month lead time for available dates to come to your garden).

The 1-hour stargazing experience is ideal for couples and families who wish to explore the night sky with an astronomer. All children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Voucher recipient may have up to 15 friends and family members share in the experience at no extra charge.

When can the voucher be used?

We run stargazing experiences all year round so you’re welcome to use the voucher for a week night or weekend night any time of the year, except 24 – 31 December, and subject to our astronomer’s availability. When arranging a date it is best to select a few nights so we have some options for bad weather. As we approach each of your booked dates we’ll check the weather forecast. If it is poor we’ll roll the experience forward to your next date, and continue to do so until we can run the stargazing for you.

How to book a date for your stargazing session

If you already have a voucher please email bookings@darkskytelescopehire.co.uk with your voucher number so we can let you know dates & time slots that are available.
