It's great for kids too. 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?

You have 2-years from date of issue to use the stargazing voucher inside the gift box. We run stargazing experiences from the South Downs all year round, so you're welcome to book for a week night or weekend night anytime of the year. That said we don't run 24 - 31 December, and the voucher recipient will need to book in advance to secure a slot on our busy timetable. We recommend booking 8 - 12 weeks in advance for best choice of 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.
