Join astronomers from the DASH Astronomical Society and the surrounding area at the fabulous dark sky location of Haw Wood Farm for a weekend of camping under pristine starry skies.
For the event’s duration, the toilet and shower block windows are blacked out with shuttering to help preserve everyone’s night vision.
Nearby attractions include RSPB Minsmere, wonderful coastal villages like Dunwich and Walberswick, and the splendid town of Southwold with its renowned Adnams Brewery.
All bookings should be directed to Haw Wood Farm. If you have any queries about the event itself, please get in touch with the Society.
