Over three nights, guests will be immersed in the magic of the universe at the special time of the spring equinox, with guided views of the planets, moon, and constellations using binoculars and telescopes. Led by renowned astronomer Chris Cooke, who brings over 25 years of astronomical experience, this unique escape makes the night sky accessible, awe-inspiring, and unforgettable. Whether you’re a seasoned stargazer or simply curious about the cosmos, this weekend promises to spark wonder, curiosity, and memories that shine long after the last star fades.
