Dark Skies Festival

About

The North York Moors is an astonishing sight to see, even in the daytime. However, when the sun sets and the stars come out, the dark sky above is certain to take your breath away.

Being one of only 20 designated International Dark Sky Reserves in the world, it goes without saying that the North York Moors is one of the best places to star gaze in the world, thanks to the low light pollution levels and clear horizons.

The eighth Dark Skies Festival will give you the chance to appreciate the beauty of the stars above us. whether you’d like to spend a night under the stars, take part in a night walk, or have a master class in owl photography, the amount of activities you can take part in is astronomical!
