Join us at Ramsey Heights Countryside Centre for a fun packed family stargazing evening.

Join us at the Dark Sky (https://www.greatfen.org.uk/explore/dark-skies-great-fen) designated site of Ramsey Heights Countryside Centre (https://www.greatfen.org.uk/ramsey-heights) in the heart of the Great Fen for a family-friendly stargazing evening. Take the opportunity to enjoy the views free of most light pollution and learn our most recognisable constellations to start you off on your dark sky discovery. We will be creating some star-related crafts to take home with you.

Bring your own telescope if you have one, or you can take turns with ours. Please note this event is designed for beginners and planned with families in mind. However, if adults would like to attend just to take advantage of the facilities being open and the reassurance of staff being on site whilst using your own stargazing and photography equipment, you're very welcome to book a place too.

Please dress appropriately for the conditions and bring a torch for navigating the site. You may like to download a stargazing app on your phone to help you pinpoint constellations. Warm drinks will be available in the centre.

Please be aware that in the event of bad weather this event may be cancelled.

Cost: £5 Wildlife Trust BCN Members, £7.50 Non-Members plus Eventbrite fees.

Time: 6-8.30pm. If you wish to stay on site after this time, cars will need to be moved outside of the main gates please.
