Sanctuary Stargazing (Plymouth)

The peak of the annual Perseid Meteor Shower is one of the best sky-watching events of the year, and Tidmarsh’s open, restored landscape puts you right under it. Enjoy an after-dark walk along sanctuary trails and then stretch out and watch for meteors streaking across the sky in this magical setting. Our expert naturalist will guide you through the summer constellations and share simple navigation tips using the stars as your guide. Along the way, learn why dark skies matter for wildlife and humans alike, and how protecting them connects to the broader cycles of the natural world. Accessible and awe-inspiring, this is a night that puts the big picture in full view. This program is fun for all ages, but because it includes walking after dark, it is recommended for participants ages 10 and up.
