Stargazing Safari

Join star storyteller Jim Bell for a unique outdoor experiencee, exploring the universe through the beautifully dark night skies of the Forest of Dean on a stargazing safari.

From our hilltop vantage point in the grounds of Tudor Farmhouse, you’ll observe stars, constellations and planets, and discover the fascinating science and stories behind them.

Your guide Jim has more than ten years of experience as a presenter for Explorer Dome, helping people of all ages to experience the true awe and wonder of the universe. Of course, with the magic of the night sky comes the risk of cloud cover spoiling the view – happily, Jim also brings with him his own portable planetarium, so you can be sure that you will see the stars whatever the weather!

You will be provided with a pair of binoculars for observing, but please also bring warm layers and boots or robust walking shoes.
