We're dedicated to delivering an unforgettable stargazing experience under the vast night sky

In event of cloud cover or rain, we will run an indoor immersive guided exploration of the Universe, exploring the celestial dance of planets, stars and galaxies, using our astronomy software.

You'll learn how to identify stars and constellations seen through the lens of different cultures and civilisations. If the sky clears up, we will take the opportunity to do some laser-guided constellation storytelling outside under the stars.

Dr Dimitri Douchin our astrophysicist and TEDx speaker will deliver a captivating fireside chat about the latest breakthroughs in astrophysics, his current research in cultural astronomy working with local Aboriginal communities, dark sky preservation and how the human experience of looking into the sky is universal and fascinating.

The evening will conclude with a lively Q&A session with our astrophysicist.
