NEW to the Exmoor Dark Skies Festival 2022!

Enjoy long table dining and discover the exceptionally starry skies surrounding the 11th Century Nettlecombe Estate and the beautiful Grade l listed Nettlecombe Court building (Field Studies Council).

Joining Moor Wild Experiences and the Field Centre's Team, you'll be treated to a scrumptious 2-course roast dinner (main and dessert) under decorative high ceilings before an indoor "Introduction to the Night Sky", followed by spotting Saturn's rings and the stars with our four refractor telescopes.

Using the Stellarium app (download FREE in advance ) we'll guide you through the Northern Hemisphere constellations and the Greek mythological stories still used today! Take home an Exmoor National Park Dark Skies Pocket Guide for free and discover more about this special Dark Skies Reserve..

If cloudy and rainy? No fear, you'll enjoy a longer interactive indoor show of galactic mysteries, astrophotography and current Space exploration
