Star Party at Malham Tarn

Join us at Malham Tarn for a star-studded evening! Expert Martin Lunn will guide you round the night sky, introduce super-stars such as Jupiter and tell tales of the myths and legends of the skies. Aimed at families with children age 7 or over.

  • Booking essential

On a clear night the big, open skies of the Yorkshire Dales let you see thousands of sparkling stars so Malham Tarn is a great place to join local astronomer Martin Lunn MBE for a star party. If the skies are clear we'll head out for a tour of the night sky and tales from the stars, then we'll warm up with a drink and a snack inside, have more starry stories and maybe a quiz or craft activity. If its cloudy we'll see the stars on screen, and we'll still have lots of starry fun. This event is aimed at families with children aged 7 or over and those who want to learn about the night sky.

A warming drink and a biscuit is included.
