Really enjoyable evening, very lucky with the weather and a remarkably clear sky considering earlier rain. Very knowledgeable member of staff who gave us lots of opportunity to look at various planets, stars and other interesting things!! He also happily answered all sorts of questions I'd certainly recommend a visit here, you're bound to learn something and have a good time while you're at it, just wear a warm jacket!!

We had a great experience at the Dark Sky Observatory, a few minutes walk from Battlesteads Hotel where we stayed.
Jimmy was a great guide on the Dark Sky Discovery event. Jimmy pointed out many different planets, stars and galaxies and set the telescope to allow us to see some of them. Seeing Saturn through the telescope was a highlight.
We did have some occasional light cloud during the evening but if one area was covered Jimmy quickly switched focus to another area that was clear.
A great experience and we hope to return soon.

We booked four consecutive nights on the AstroVentures two-hour star-gazing courses and enjoyed them all. They each had to be adapted to the weather, of course, and to what is visible: we hoped to see the Northern Lights - but they just didn't happen. Nothing anyone could do about that! We stayed in the lovely Battlesteads Hotel, where the observatory is sited and where meal times can be adjusted to fit in with the session timings. The observatory is unimpressive at first sight - a garden shed feel but with one impressive telescope in the first "room". The second room has about 20 chairs and plenty of powerful binoculars, as well as a TV screen and accessories. On the first night, astronomer Rita was delightful and gave us a perfect introduction to star-gazing: the roof of the outer part of the shed slides back to reveal the sky! And there was plenty of clear sky so Rita made sure everyone had a chance to be inspired by the sights of Jupiter, Saturn and much more. Jimmy on the second night was also hugely inspiring. He's an excellent presenter and dealt with many tricky questions superbly - educating us all along the way. Roy is also a skilled presenter - he was out third night guide to the sky, and showed as one of Jupiter's moons passing in front of it and casting a shadow. On the fourth and final night, Rita was unlucky as the sky was covered in cloud. We spent the evening in the "study" part of the shed - interesting, but not as exciting as being out on the deck gazing at planets. stars and galaxies. Each of the guides had their own passions and areas of expertise, with a great deal of overlap, too. We learnt a lot, were hugely inspired and are tempted to buy our own telescope! It's a fun and different, if cloud-dependent, way of spending part of the evening in a beautiful part of the country.

Loved the experience. Note! As it was October and a bit chilly, please take a warm coat and possibly a waterproof jacket. We were lucky it did not rain.
You have to be prepared to wait long into the early hours. Things were not looking good and the clouds were hiding everything.. then we got a clearing into the universe. Still you have to be patient as there is only one telescope with one eyepiece, so if there is twenty or so people it does take some time to get your slot but it’s worth it. What a show. Well worth it.

This was a fascinating and engaging evening with our host Roy. The revelation of the sliding roof and big telescope was one of the highlights; the other highlights in their millions were the stars above us, including Jupiter and Saturn, including some of their moons and rings (occasionally cloudy, but stuck at it!). A great 2 hours. Well done.

Roy, our astrophysicist, was a brilliant, engaging communicator, who made complex science understandable.
We were very lucky with the weather too & saw Saturn, Mars, Andromeda & a transit of Ganymede over Jupiter.

It was a bit cloudy during our visit - which can’t be helped. The full moon illuminated the sky which rendered it even more difficult to view much - apart from the moon. Non of which can be avoided.
Some of our binoculars weren’t very easy to focus. There was one telescope taken outside and about twenty of us queuing to peep at the moon. We couldn’t see any great detail through it.
The huge majority of the time was spent indoors.
Strangely there appeared to be very little in the way of contingency to provide an alternative talk or discussion in these circumstances.
We spent most of the two hours being underwhelmed and bored.
We were told to get out our phones - but not everyone had one.
Then it was a long lesson in downloading and using an app.
We could have done this at home quite easily.
The rest of the evening was disjointed and disappointing. The speaker seemed ill prepared and jumped from topic to topic. We were bored.
Could have been so much better.

A fantastic night's star-gazing, we were blessed with clear skies and an excellent host in Roy, who was both knowledgeable and very generous with his advice to us about our telescope. The views of Saturn and Jupiter were breath-taking.

This was an amazing evening. Rita who was the guide for the evening was brilliant. She answered all of our questions explained what we would be doing and then took us out to look at the stars and through the telescope. We saw galaxies, planets, constellations, double stars and lots more. Rita was very knowledgeable and explained how to find certain stars and constellations. At the end of the evening we were able to hold bits of meteorites and had the opportunity to buy small pieces of them. A really good evening. Highly recommended and well worth the price.

Bought this for my wife's birthday, she absolutely loves and is fascinated by space and everything around us. Jimmy, the astronomer, was fantastic, very passionate and very informative. Was very approachable and made everyone feel comfortable. It was unfortunate it was a cloudy night so couldn't see through large telescope or binoculars, but was still a fab experience with a lot of info and video presentations. The hotel and staff were exceptional too, already hoping in future to return soon. Thanks Jimmy 👍🏼🌠

U finish work at eight could we join group after ? Or I s it start at with pm?

You won't have a problem but let them know you'll be late. However if you are coming to one of the very specialist sessions - say on astrophotography - and are a complete newbie, I wouldn't recommend coming late. But for a more general session - you'll not miss out too much. The general session I went to started off with a talk and the hands-on was much later

Hi,
We live in Manchester and are coming for a short visit to Northumberland, My son wants to be an astrophysicists and would love to take him to an observatory. What if we have booked tickets and it is a cold rainy day ?
Thanks
Caroline

unfortunately you take that chance although the area and building is small there is something of interest and very knowledgeable and friendly staff available, the night we, as a group, visited, our coach was due to leave at 11:30pm and up to 10pm there was a very low cloudbase, at 10pm the sky suddenly became very clear, why not stay at the Battlesteads hotel, and stay a couple of days, not only can you stay in the hotel but they have lodgers out the back near the observatory, and no I do not work for them so cannot comment on the accommodation. I hope, during your visit, you will have a clear night and an enjoyable visit and hope I have been some help.
