Information from our friends at Wild about Exmoor and Space Detectives.
Exmoor National Park became the first Dark Sky Reserve in Europe back in 2011 and ever since then, both Wild about Exmoor and Space Detectives have been celebrating that fact with the running of stargazing events throughout the years across the park.
Open to families and couples, we will take you on a journey to the stars, not only entertaining you with our informative and immersive presentations, but also allow you to look through the eye piece of high-end telescopes and star hop using laser guidance. We even have a plan for cloudy skies in the use of our virtual Dark Skys planetarium projector, so you are guaranteed a wonderful space inspired evening, whatever the weather!
Wild about Exmoor and Space Detectives are both owned and run by Jo and Pete Richardson, who are experienced outreach astronomers and have worked in the space education industry for over 14 years. Jo is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society as well as an ESERO-UK (European Space Agency Resource Office) Ambassador, and Pete is an International Astrophotographer and Telescope Maker.
In addition to stargazing, Wild about Exmoor also offers Guided Walking Events, Landscape and AstrophotographyPhotography Courses and Space Detectives has opportunities for schools and community groups to explore space. Check out their websites for more information.
