Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to view the night sky?

For the full Milky Way experience then the best time is around new moon durring the summer. Around full moon some of the fainter stars will be hard to see so this is a good time if you want to learn the star patterns of the main constellations. Remember from May to the end of July it won’t get truly dark until after midnight.

What happens if it’s cloudy or we have bad weather?

If a decision is made to cancel a booking due to bad weather, then you have a choice to either make a booking for a later date or cancel the booking.

At the end of the evening you will be presented with an invoice for the whole party. Payment can be made by cash, card or BACS.
