Use the stargazing voucher to book your astronomical adventure with us anytime of the year. We run on week nights and weekend nights  except 24-31 December, and subject to our astronomer’s availability. Typically we run ona 6-month lead time for available dates. 

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.
