The Dark Skies Festival idea was born from our webinar ‘Looking up, looking forward’ in March 2022. It was inspired by activities from all over Scotland and alllowed our communities and businesses to learn more about the potential opportunities our dark skies provide in the quieter months.
The first Wester Ross Dark Skies Festival 2022...
In addition to the brilliant events run by local businesses and organisations, WRB organised planetarium shows and learning events across the region - over 400 people enjoyed a range of activities about the stars, universe and our place within it, including:
* Local planetarium shows
* Guide training to learn how to incorporate star-gazing into business or events
* Virtual headsets and a chance to touch a small piece of Mars!
* Night time photography
* Star-gazing workshops & experiences
Your donation will enable us to make this a recurring annual event that our communities will look forward to and benefit from as our nights grow long in the winter.
