Would you like to learn more about the night sky? Join us for a memorable evening in Britain’s most northerly Dark Sky Park. October is one of the best times of year to view the Milky Way, with darker evenings and clearer skies offering ideal conditions for stargazing. We will begin at the Tomintoul & Glenlivet Discovery Centre with hot drinks and a short introductory presentation to help you get the most out of your night sky experience. Then, we’ll take a short night walk down to the SkyHide – a purpose-built stargazing shelter – where you’ll have the chance to view the stunning Milky Way, spot constellations, and maybe even catch a shooting star or two.
The Glenlivet and Tomintoul area is one of the best places in the Cairngorms National Park to discover the wonders of the night sky.
As we will be outside, please dress appropriately for cold and changeable weather. Lots of layers, along with gloves and hat will make your stargazing experience more enjoyable. Please also wear appropriate footwear for potentially wet and wintry conditions.
If conditions are unsuitable on the day of the event the organiser will email attendees.
Toilets are available in Tomintoul and in the Discovery Centre.
Suggested donation of £7 through Eventbrite or on the night helps to support the Tomintoul & Glenlivet Cairngorms Dark Sky Park.
