Camp Katur Glamping
The Camp Hill Estate, Kirklington, North Yorkshire, DL8 2LS
Back by popular demand, join local astronomer Richard Darn alongside the team from Camp Katur for a guided tour around the cosmos, taking advantage of some of the most spectacular dark skies the UK offers.
After ‘Sundowner Drinks’ around the forest fire pit, you will be toured around the Moon’s craters and see the constellations and planets, such as Saturn and Jupiter a little later in the evening, before cocktails around the forest campfire and staying in one of our beautiful hideaways.
