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?
