Dark Skies Festival Activity Night
Dark Skies Festival Activities – Let’s paddle to the stars…
How Stean Gorge is proud to be hosting the ever-popular Dark Skies Activities nights as part of the Yorkshire Dales and Moors Dark Skies Festival. We will be running these activities alongside our Pizza Nights on Saturdays.
Dark Skies Activity and Bad Weather Alternative
Ever thought of star gazing in a canoe? Glide into the water and paddle your rafted canoe across Scar House Reservoir under the moon and stars, also if you arrive early you can get FREE entrance to our Gorge and Caves Visitor Attraction.
Please note: In adverse weather conditions, participants will experience the Via Ferrata High Wire Course. The course is one of only three in the UK. This only happens when it is not safe to proceed with open-water canoeing.
Unique ‘Dark Skies’ Location
Scar House Reservoir is one of three places in the Nidderdale AONB that has a Dark Sky Discovery Site status. The Yorkshire Dales National Park has been officially designated an International Dark Sky Reserve, making this area one of the best places in the world to view the skies above.
