LAS Autumn Equinox Sky Camp

The LAS Autumn Equinox Sky Camp is the largest star party in the UK, where hundreds of amateur astronomers meet up for a week of dark sky observing at Kelling Heath on the North Norfolk coast.

All three fields are devoted exclusively to astronomers, with a strict 'no lights' policy enforced for the whole week. The main event day is the Saturday, with vendor trade stands, a series of talks in the afternoon and a raffle.

There is no charge for day visitors, but anyone wishing to stay for the evening is warned that car movements cannot take place on the observing fields after dark, please park away e.g. the main car park at the Village Square.
