- **Event Name**: An Evening Under the Stars at Birdsall House
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 17 Feb, 2026 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join Go Stargazing for an intimate evening of stargazing as we celebrate the extraordinary dark skies above Birdsall House. Nestled in the Yorkshire Wolds, on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, Birdsall enjoys an exceptional setting beside one of just 25 places in the world recognised for its pristine, dark skies, allowing us to share in this rare and remarkable celestial landscape.

The evening will begin at dusk with a leisurely walk led by Lady Cara, offering the chance to spot some of Birdsall’s much-loved wildlife, from our resident peacocks settling down for the night to the variety of nocturnal birds that call the Birdsall Estate home. As daylight fades, the stars will slowly reveal themselves overhead.

We will then return to The Old Kitchens for a captivating talk by astronomer Neill Sanders, founder of Go Stargazing. As we warm ourselves with a hot drink and snacks, Neill will guide us through the wonders of recent space exploration, touching on extraordinary new discoveries, the enigma of dark matter and worlds far beyond our own.

The evening will draw to a close with guided telescope viewing led by Neill, giving guests the chance to observe Jupiter in remarkable detail as we gather around the fire pits and marvel at the night sky above.

Ages 12 and over.
