Get Ready for a Sparkling February Half Term!

Join us from 11th-19th February as we raise our gaze skywards to celebrate the beauty of Bowland after dark.

This year's Dark Skies Festival not only offers a helping hand to navigate the stars, it's also the perfect chance to indulge your creativity, delve into the history book of local astronomy, fine-tune your astrophotography skills and enjoy some family time round the campfire once the sun has dipped.

You can find a round-up of the fun below, with full details - including booking information - available on the Festival Bowland calendar at: https://www.forestofbowland.com/Festival-Bowland-Events
