Join the team at Barton Farm in Kentisbury for another popular astronomy experience. This evening experience will allow you to discover the night skies using telescopes while tucking into a 2-course homemade meal.

What to expect:

  • Tuck into a generous bowl of homemade curry (mild chicken curry, vegetarian or vegan upon request), served a side of roast potatoes and a plain naan bread each
  • Step outside to our collection of telescopes to spot Saturn's rings and Orion's nebula.
  • Learn to spot Andromeda with the naked eye and a pair of binoculars
  • Follow the constellation patterns with our laser pointer (Warning of bright light)
  • Learn how to use the free Stellarium app
  • Enjoy a slice of homemade fudgy chocolate brownie, enjoyed with a cup or tea, coffee or hot chocolate

On a cloudy or rainy night you'll be able to enjoy an indoor presentation under the canopy of our candlelit 16th century barn, including an Exmoor Dark Skies trail film and NASA imagery.
