The Original Light Show – Hengistbury Head

The Original Light Show – Hengistbury Head logo

Join us and astronomer Kate Earl for an evening packed with Meteors, the Moon and the Milky Way. Bring a picnic chair or mat, and a blanket to keep warm whilst we gaze in awe at the universe.

There will be stories of our prehistoric ancestors and how, under the same sky, they would have also looked up in wonder. There’s also a telescope to look at the Moon when it rises around 10pm. Join us for shooting stars, stories and staying up late!
