The Event

See the wonders of the Andromeda Galaxy

DUE TO CLOUDY CONDITIONS WE HAVE DECIDED TO MOVE THE EVENT TO THURSDAY 25 SEPTEMBER WE HOPE YOU CAN MAKE IT THEN!

Have you ever wondered why the stars are so important to us and how the increase in lighting is taking away our ability to connect with the landscape in the sky.  Then this is the event for you.

  • From 7.30pm please follow stewards for parking as we need to make sure you are parked in the right direction!
  • 8pm A talk on why we should turn off more lights, followed by  Andromeda Galaxy and other constellation you can see at this time of year. 
  • See the stars with the Astronomical Societies until late

Join Dallington Parish and learn about the constellations we love to see;  with Doug Edworthy enthusiastic astronomer,  Sussex Strollers and Seven Sisters Astronomy Group ; and Samantha Nicholas High Weald Dark Skies coordinator on the importance of reducing light pollution.  

There will be soup and refreshments available (we cannot cater for alternative dietary requirements)

Please wear suitable clothing for the weather and bring red torches if you have them.  Torches will also be available for the event.

If the weather is unsuitable i.e. raining or very cloudy the event will be moved to the following Thursday 25 September, you will be notified by email.
