Stargazing Experience - Cowdray Estate
Organised by : Cowdray Estate
Venture on a fascinating guided tour of the night sky with local astronomer Dr John Mason MBE who will highlight some of the brighter stars, familiar and unfamiliar constellations, myths and legends of the stars, the Moon and visible planets, satellites, shooting stars and much more under the stars.
Cowdray lies within the South Downs National Park which is an International Dark Sky Reserve, making it the perfect place to understand more of what takes place in the skies above us. Dr John Mason MBEs living planetarium night-time tour uses the real night sky as an outdoor star theatre. We recommend bringing binoculars (if you have them), wrapping up warm and wearing sensible footwear. Hot drinks will be served during the experience.
Please note that this event is weather dependant. If visibility is deemed unsuitable for stargazing it is our hope that the experience will take place on the reserve date, which we will announce in due course.
Meeting point and parking: Ambersham & Brooks Fields Polo Ground (GU28 0PR)
