Humble Bee Farm and the North York Moors Dark Skies Festival
Humble Bee Farm is a ‘stellar’ place to explore the night sky!
Low light pollution and the fresh air of the Yorkshire Wolds means the heavens above can look incredible.
Bring your binocular or your telescope and if the skies are clear of clouds, you’ll be wowed by the views of the Milky Way, the planets, stars and galaxies.
Dark Skies 2025
As well as our very own nocturnal experience, the North York Moors National Park hosts its ninth annual Dark Skies Festival
Mark your diaries for 14 February – 2 March 2025, and keep an eye on the Dark Skies website here for more information coming soon…
This much-loved event is now one of the best of its kind, so prebooking is essential.
The events take place at various locations in the National Park, parts of which are just a 30-minute drive from Humble Bee Farm, so why not stay and gaze?
After Dark Family Adventures
The North York Moors National Park is just one of 21 locations IN THE WORLD that is recognised for its pristine, dark skies and has International Dark Sky Reserve status.
There are some daylight workshops too if younger members get sleepy as the sun sets.
