Family and Beginners Astronomy Weekend. Saturday November 2nd.

Ever wanted to know more about our night skies? Here at Haw Wood Farm we are privileged to have some of the darkest skies in the country that enable us to host astronomy events for both the casual observer and the dedicated professionals.
This Half Term our experts, Keith Venables and Darryl Pearce will be on hand to run a series of activities and informative sessions for beginners. These will be family friendly with activities specifically for children available.
Should the evening give us clear skies,there will also be a laser tour of the Night Sky at 6.30pm for you to enjoy.
We will also be serving Pizza from 4-6pm in the cafe.
Please book a camping pitch if you want to stay, or day visitors welcome.
