- **Event Name**: Whitby Scale Solar System walking tour
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 27 Feb, 2026 at 08:30 am
- **Event Description**: Meet at the entrance to the Whitby walkway at the end of Mercury Way for a guided walking tour of the Whitby Scale Solar System.

The Whitby Scale Solar System is a scale model of our solar system, with all the planets represented at their correct scale distances and sizes from the Sun, which itself is at the start of the walkway on Mercury Way. During the tour you will be able to experience for yourself the true scale of the solar system, and of space and beyond, learn some interesting facts about our nearest celestial neighbours, and have the opportunity to ask questions and chat about all things space and astronomy related!

Numbers are strictly limited and must be confirmed prior to attending. Please contact me to book by messaging me, the page, or by email (dynofiend@hotmail.com) 

I am running this event as a fund raiser for a model sports club I belong to, and ALL proceeds will go to this volunteer led, not-for profit club.

$10 adult
$5 child

The walk will last approximately 45 minutes, and is approximately 1km of walking on formed but hilly pathways. After that you are free to explore the rest of the solar system, or to return to your starting point.

Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions at all!
