Annual festival returns

A fascinating journey through the solar system, moongazing sessions, planetarium shows, cosmic craft activities and jaw-dropping astrophotography are among the highlights of this year’s Dark Skies Festival.

The South Downs National Park’s night-time extravaganza returns for 2022 with a bumper line-up of in-person and virtual events over the half-term holidays – February 11-27.

The theme of this year’s festival is exploring the Dark Skies for yourself and making the most of the 10 Discovery Sites in the national park – all offering great opportunities to see immense views of the universe.
