Petworth Dark Skies

This features out of date content from February 2020 - unfortunately we are not offering any half term activities this year.
Petworth Dark Skies - part of the South Downs Dark Skies Festival
Join us at Petworth House & Park for this exciting weekend of activities in celebration of the night sky as part of our Skyscape exhibition season.
Book for the day or single events and experience a raft of drop-in workshops, activities and encounters including Brighton’s beloved Same Sky for luminous lantern decorating, torch processions, storytelling and singing sessions through the parklands and into the night sky at the end of a busy day.
Weekend daytime tickets include entry to the Skyscape exhibition and the house, where you will have the chance to see some of the historic rooms and the Petworth art collection, including works by Turner and Constable, both avid painters of the sky.
The event and all activities are part of the South Downs Dark Skies Festival and are designed for people of all ages to enjoy and be able to take part in.
