Stories of the Night Sky at Malham Tarn

On a clear night the big, open skies of the Yorkshire Dales let you see thousands of sparkling stars. Join local astronomer Martin Lunn MBE for an evening of stargazing and stories at Malham Tarn.

  • Booking essential

Join us at the National Trust's Malham Tarn Estate to learn more about the night sky. Local astronomer Martin Lunn MBE will guide you to view the stars and constellations and will share the tales associated with them. If the weather is clear, the big, open skies here offer a great opportunity to see the stars. If there is cloud cover or poor weather Martin will give a space presentation indoors instead.

A warming drink and a biscuit is included.
