More importantly, you'll have spent time in the dark at a spectacular natural location, which is normally only accessible in daylight.

You'll leave the event with a printed star chart to help you remember your experience, and a greater knowledge of the night sky. We may even use astronomy binoculars when conditions are especially clear. Unlike observatory events, you'll be observing outdoors, away from buildings and cumbersome equipment. Then, we'll embark on a group stargazing experience led by a guide with a laser pointer. You'll have the opportunity to take photos and selfies with your phone as we light up the waterfall, creating an unforgettable moment. You'll learn about the unique landscape and what makes it such an exceptional dark sky site. On the night of the event, we'll meet at the High Force Hotel for an indoor briefing and presentation before walking down to the waterfall together. Our stargazing events take place from September to April for maximum darkness, and we have dates available right up to the end of 2023. We even have earlier times suitable for families with young children. Our events are perfect for a romantic date night or a unique outing with friends or family. With the surrounding cliffs and some of the darkest skies in Europe above the waterfall, you'll be in for an unforgettable stargazing experience. So why not come and experience it for yourself and show off where you're going to your friends and family? If you're a fan of Professor Brian Cox's BBC series, Universe, you'll be thrilled to know that High Force is featured prominently in the fourth episode. Are you ready for an unforgettable evening with your loved ones? Or perhaps searching for a unique gift to surprise someone special? Look no further than High Force - the largest waterfall in the country, and a breathtaking sight, day or night.
