Coll & The Cosmos Stargazing Weekend - November 2024
Saturday 2nd November 2024 from 12:00pm to Sunday 3rd November 2024 13:00pm
Isle of Coll - Coll Bunkhouse
Arinagour, Isle of Coll, Isle of Coll, PA78 6SY
For the stargazing adventure of (perhaps) a lifetime, go to the remote Isle of Coll this weekend and explore the incredible dark skies above the island.
This event is for anyone and everyone! No prior knowledge of astronomy is needed — you’ll experience dark skies as you have never done before. Absorb the views through large telescopes and let your mind take you away to distant galaxies!
If the weather doesn’t cooperate, a state-of-the-art mobile planetarium will be on site as a great alternative.
After your long stargazing night and even longer lie-in, explore the wonderful scenery around the island.
This is a weekend event from Saturday through Sunday. Spaces are limited, so book up soon!
