Once in a lifetime chance to experience a near total eclipse and meteor shower on the same day at Elan Valley

Bosses at the Elan Valley are inviting people to a once in a lifetime chance to experience a near total eclipse and meteor shower on the same day.

The exclusive night under the stars will take place on Wednesday, August 12 from 5.30pm until 11.30pm at the Elan Valley near Rhayader.

Join in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience a near-total eclipse and the most spectacular meteor shower of the year on the same day, in exclusive locations in the heart of the Elan Valley International Dark Sky Park.

Treat yourself or your loved one to an afternoon and evening of astronomical delights, watching a near-total eclipse, where 94% of the sun will be eclipsed by the Moon.

It will be followed by a three-course meal, lovingly cooked by a local professional caterer, and end the night watching the Perseid Meteor Shower, gazing at glittering star clusters, galaxies and nebulae through specialised telescopes.

Just arrive and relax and the specialised team will handle the rest.

Places for the experience are strictly limited and tickets cost £160.

If the weather doesn’t play ball, the organisers will offer a meal and a talk – but either way, it will be a special experience!
