From 14th – 19th February, Broughton Hall becomes a celestial wonderland with amazing stargazing events, astronomy talks, solar meditation and nature walks to help connect you to the magic of the cosmos and enjoy the incredible night skies over the Yorkshire Dales.
The Yorkshire Dales is an international Dark Sky Reserve, so designated because of the lack of light pollution, making it easy to enjoy the night sky without having to use a telescope. From the Dales, you will be able to see planets, meteors and even the Northern Lights. The reserve covers the upper ends of Swaledale, Rawthey Valley, Garsdale, Littondale and Wharfedale, giving you plenty of places to enjoy the night sky.
Why not take part this year by booking a stay at Broughton Hall? It’s the perfect place for the opening celebrations. Guests can stay in a Broughton Sanctuary Holiday Home to fully immerse themselves in the festival atmosphere and enjoy the benefits of the night sky. It’s a great option for families looking for a unique half-term break. There are a host of events happening daily as part of the festival, including daily children’s activities and family-friendly events, including Solar System Wonders with Chris Higgins.
As well as the Dark Skies Festival, there are other half term activities to enjoy while at Broughton Hall. Parents can relax, while the kids can enjoy outdoor adventures with the Wild Explorers Kids’ Holiday Club and Teenage Camps, running throughout the week.
