Dark Skies 2026 at blackShed, Friday 6th November 6:00-8:00pm
For this year's Dark Skies event we'll be celebrating water and its importance for night time flying creatures; moths, bats and nocturnal birds. We will also be delving into the effects of light pollution and fireworks on these species, and what we can all do to help.
-a short nocturnal walk in the countryside surrounding the gallery
-Clare Whistler & Charlotte Still will host a collaborative sewing activity, creating a textile pond that reflects the night sky back at us. Stars, planets, moths and bats!
-An interactive presentation from Samantha Nicholas HWNLP on the importance of dark skies and the effects of light pollution on wildlife.
-A telescope for everyone to try out and wonder at the cosmos & dark skies of Robertsbridge!
This event is FREE and open to all ages!
