This popular festival is in its 5th Year in 2021. With a variety of festival events for families and adults taking place all over Exmoor, why not book yourself some accommodation and make a holiday of it?

The festival takes place from Friday 22nd October to Sunday 7th November – there is so much to experience and explore for all the family! From dusk safaris, stargazing walks and talks, dark skies owl experiences, night hikes and farmhouse suppers, dark skies art exhibition and planetarium sessions and astronomy talks.

For full event listings, which are being added to all the time, please see the Exmoor National Park website: Exmoor Dark Skies Festival 2021.

There is a list of accommodation businesses and stargazing experience providers who have been accredited as Exmoor Dark Sky Friendly businesses. They have all received training and are able to help you make the most of our dark skies during your stay. Details available here.
