South Downs National Park Dark Skies Events

Stargazing South Downs – 2020 Roadshow

Our popular – and free – Stargazing South Downs event will be going on tour during February half term week to  venues in West Sussex, East Sussex and Hampshire. No matter what the weather is outside, you can still come and learn about the amazing dark skies in our National Park.

This year’s events will include indoor planetarium shows, a giant ‘dark night skies’ colouring wall, talks about the planets, the stars and nocturnal wildlife, science demonstrations, and, if the night is clear, the opportunity to go outside and take part in some moongazing with the experts.
