A Stargazing Experience Beyond the Basics

If you’re drawn to the stars not just for their beauty, but for the stories they hold — this immersive evening is for you.

“Under Dark Skies: A Deeper Look” offers a more reflective and insightful take on stargazing, combining science, mythology, and storytelling to explore our place in the universe.

Held at High Force Waterfall — one of the UK’s premier dark sky locations — this experience is perfect for those looking to go beyond the constellations and uncover the deeper meaning behind what we see in the night sky.

What’s Included:

  • Expert-led astronomy session blending science, mythology & history

  • A deeper look at celestial phenomena, constellations & cosmic mechanics

  • Small group setting designed for discussion, reflection & shared discovery

  • Illuminated walk to High Force Waterfall for a dramatic and inspiring finale

  • Option to dine or stay overnight at the High Force Hotel (booking separate)

Who is this for?

  • Curious minds seeking more than a beginner’s guide

  • Lovers of science, stories, and the stars

  • Anyone craving a slower, more meaningful night under the sky

  • Adults and older teens (suggested age 14+)

Spaces are limited to keep the atmosphere intimate and engaging. Book early to avoid disappointment

Why High Force?

Located in the North Pennines National Landscape, High Force offers some of the darkest skies in England. Combined with the dramatic power of the waterfall and the welcoming comfort of High Force Hotel, this is a place to reconnect with the natural world — and with your own sense of wonder.

Step into the silence of the night. Look up. And let the universe speak.
