Exmoor Dark Skies Festival 2024

Celebrate the fabulous star-filled skies above Europe’s first internationally recognised Dark Sky Reserve. The festival once again returns for 2024 boasting numerous events suitable for all ages that will take place all over Exmoor National Park, organised in collaboration with local businesses, astronomers and astronomy groups.

For example, you can enjoy a free constellation trail in the Lorna Doone Vally, planetarium shows hosted by Space Odyssey, E-bike rides with Exmoor Adventures and free drop-in arts and crafts sessions themed around the starry skies and the Moon.

To help promote the festival, we feature the events which involve practical stargazing or getting out under the dark skies. For a full schedule of events, please see the Exmoor Dark Skies Festival official website.

Go Stargazing wishes the Exmoor Dark Skies Festival every success, and we hope everyone attending the events enjoys incredible views of the stars. Clear skies!
