Kelling Heath Star Party is the largest in the UK; hundreds of amateur astronomers meet under the dark skies of North Norfolk with a wide variety of telescopes and equipment. Members of the public are welcome to attend, both as overnight stargazers staying on-site and day/evening visitors. However, please be aware of strict rules regarding the use of white light and noise pollution in the mornings — mornings are for lie-ins after a long night observing (or in the bar!).
