Have you ever looked up into our beautiful starry Suffolk skies and wanted to know more - if so this is the event for you. Join us for a warming three course supper in the cosy tipi. Guests will have a choice of two dishes for each course, including vegetarian options using local produce, prepared by the Fire and Feast Team. Menu will be published four weeks before the event. The evening will begin with a complimentary Gin Cocktail from Fishers Gin. A selection of wine, beer and soft drinks, teas and coffee will be available to purchase on the evening.

After supper DASH Astro will open your eyes to the night skies with a mix of observing, displays and talks. Exact activities will depend on the weather / cloud cover and this event will go ahead regardless of visibility. Subject to weather there will be opportunities to see constellations, stars, nebulae, planets, near and far off galaxies and hopefully plenty of shooting stars. A selection of talks will cover topics such as: What we can see in our Night Sky, Astrophotography for Beginners, Life on other planets, The Stars Planets and Mythology. The balance of talks and observing will depend on weather conditions, with more observing if weather/cloud cover permit.
