WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The family evening is restricted to a small group of max 4 people and the start time varies according to the time of year to ensure darkness. There are provisions to ensure that even if the weather is a little unaccommodating there will still be opportunities to use the equipment and learn about the skies, but there is a risk of the activity being cancelled in the event of forecast gales or predicted cloud cover. In this instance we will contact you in advance, but please retain your voucher/s as arrangements can be made for you to rearrange for a future date.
