BRECON BEACONS 1-HOUR STARGAZING EXPERIENCE

Presented as a stargazing experience voucher inside a luxury A5 gift box our 1-hour Brecon Beacons stargazing experience is run from near the Brecon Beacons National Park Centre at Libanus, some 5 miles SW of Brecon, and about 15 miles N of Merthyr Tydfil. We'll meet you at the location for a 1-hour stargazing adventure out across the cosmos. Included is a laser-guided tour of the stars and constellations that we can see on the night, and a journey out across the night sky to visit star systems, star clusters, nebulae and distant galaxies far beyond our own, with expert narration and guidance from an astronomer. If the moon and / or planets are visible at the time then we'll get a view of them too in the telescope. 

The telescope we'll use on the night is a 250mm or 300mm aperture reflector. It'll yield some amazing sights, many of which are beyond the capability of the naked eye to pick out. If you've ever wanted to get a close up view of Saturn and its rings, or look deep inside the craters of the moon then this experience is for you!

Our 1-hour Brecon Beacons stargazing experience is a private session suitable for individuals, couples and families and small gropus of up to 15 people. 

Looking for a stargazing gift for Chrismas, birthdays or for special occasions? Our 1-hour Brecon Beacons stargazing experience is ideal for anyone with a fascination in space or the night sky. As such it makes for an exciting (and unusual!) gift for individuals, couples, families and small groups. All children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. 

When can the voucher be used? 

The stargazing voucher is valid for 2 years, so it gives the gift box recipient plenty of time to choose their own date for the stargazing experience. We can run the 1-hour Brecon Beacons stargazing experience on a week night or weekend night anytime of the year, except 24 -31 December, and subject to our astronomer's availability. Private stargazing nights are proving very popular, so you'll need to consider booking 4 - 6 months ahead for the best pick of dates. 

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.

What if it is raining or cloudy? 

Naturally cloud and rain is always a threat. When using the voucher to book the stargazing experience we recommend that you choose 2 or 3 nights initially on which you’d be happy for us to run the experience. If it is cloudy / raining on all selected nights then we’ll simply roll the experience forward to an alternative date that works. We can keep rolling the experience forward until we are able to run the stargazing for you.
