For The Person Who Has Their Head In The Clouds
‘I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream,’ Vincent van Gogh, 1853–1890.
There’s no better place to stargaze than Europe's largest protected dark skies park, Kielder Observatory. Their events run most evenings throughout the year so there’s plenty to choose from! If you’ve not visited before, choosing an event can be a bit bewildering, but they host good all-rounder events such as Aurora Night, Origins of the Universe or The Secret Life of Stars which are aimed at all levels of knowledge and experience.
