Elan Valley Stargazing Extravanganza – partial eclipse and Perseids!

Wednesday 12th August 2026 from 17:30pm

Nantgwyllt Church

Elan Valley, Rhayader, Powys, LD6 5HE, Wales

Experience an unforgettable evening in the heart of the Elan Valley International Dark Sky Park, combining a spectacular 94% partial solar eclipse, a delicious three-course meal, and stargazing beneath some of the UK's darkest skies.

As darkness falls, enjoy views of the Perseid Meteor Shower along with star clusters, galaxies and nebulae through powerful telescopes, guided by an experienced astronomy team at the incredible dark sky location of Nantgwyllt Church.

Places are strictly limited, and if the weather is uncooperative, the evening will still include the meal and an engaging astronomy talk, ensuring a memorable experience whatever the skies bring.
