2-HOUR FAMILY STARGAZING EXPERIENCE - STARGAZING EXPERIENCE GIFT VOUCHER
2-Hour Family Stargazing Experience - Available at 35+ dark sky stargazing locations across England & Wales
Go stargazing with a professional astronomer and large observatory-grade telescope at your choice of 35 stargazing locations across the UK. Run exclusively for your family group we'll provide a stargazing adventure like no other. You'll meet our professional astronomer at one of the many stargazing locations we use across England and Wales for a grand tour of the night sky. Included is a laser-guided tour of the stars and constellations we can see on your stargazing night, and a journey out across the night sky with one of our large telescopes. Marvel at objects like the Orion Nebula close up, and see the light from distant galaxies including the Andromeda Galaxy. Best time to see the Andromeda Galaxy in the UK is from July through until March. You'll discover star systems, star cluster and ancient nebulae too from long-dead stars. If the moon and / or planets are visible at the time we'll get a look at them in the telescope as well.

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 choosing 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.
How to book a date for your family 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.
