Courses & Night Sky Tours
All course except for the Night Sky Tour are run through the day.
Periods close to the New Moon usually book up quicker as that is the time the night sky is at its darkest.
We
are
not
be
open
for
stargazing
tours
from
May
to
the
end
of
July
due
to
the
Summer
nights
being too light. Our other daytime courses are available.
Please note :
- To make a booking please phone
- Every effort is made to keep these Calendar up to date.
- It is intended only as an indicator and does not 100% guarantee availability
Why we do not have on-line booking
It is common these days to book through a website so why don’t we do this?
Quite
simply
most
of
our
visitors
don’t
know
when
is
a
good
time
to
visit
or
would
book
close
to
the
Full
Moon
without realising they will not be able to see much of our renowned dark skies.
As we have card facilities it only takes one short phone call to make a booking.

Night Sky Tours
Please
check
both
calendars
for
availability
if
you
are
also
looking
to have a Night Sky Tour while at the caravan.
Our
other
courses
are
run
through
the
day
so
should
be
available, but will be show if not.
Periods
close
to
the
New
Moon
usually
book
up
quicker
as
that
is
the time the night sky is at its darkest.
Between
the
end
of
May
and
end
of
July
we
do
not
provide
Night
Sky Tours as the sky is too light to see very much.
Please note :

Why we do not have on-line booking
It
is
common
these
days
to
book
through
a
website
so
why
don’t
we do this.
The
reason
is
because
most
of
our
guests
are
new
to
astronomy
and
don’t
know
when
is
a
good
time
to
visit
or
would
book
close
to
the
Full
Moon
without
realising
they
will
not
be
able
to
see
much of our renowned dark skies.
As
we
have
card
facilities
it
only
takes
one
short
phone
call
to
make a booking.
Please note -
We
are
not
be
open
for
stargazing
tours
from
May
to
the
end
of
July
due
to
the
Summer
nights
being
too
light.
Our
other daytime courses are available.
