A Northumberland attraction in one of the county's most popular beauty spots is hosting a light nights festival in June.
Kielder Observatory, which is in the heart of the UK's largest protected international dark skies park, will host the first Late Nights, Light Nights Festival over the last weekend in June. It will include a comedy night, movie night and light academy for children just days after the summer solstice.
The area around the observatory, which includes Kielder Water and Forest Park, was recently named one of the best places to stargaze in the UK, however, the staff at the observatory are hoping to provide 'a bit of fun' for guests during the lighter nights. The festival kicks off on Friday June 24 with a comedy night featuring North Tyneside-based comic group Felt Nowt.
