Blast off to fun with space education adventures in Yorkshire
Looking for a fun and educational day out for the family? Learn all about the Cosmic Adventures workshops here at Stump Cross Caverns.
Here at Stump Cross Caverns, we're not content to rest on our limestone laurels – as beautiful and beloved as our caves are.
As well as welcoming visitors to the caves, we host a wide range of events and workshops. And this October and November, we're bringing back our Cosmic Adventures workshops.
These fun and informative sessions are all about the mysteries of the universe. They reflect our passion for learning through play.
Led by our educators, these sessions are perfect for kids and families alike. Here's what you can expect.
What can I expect at the Cosmic Adventures workshops?
Our Cosmic Adventures workshops are all about space. Participants learn how to identify the major constellations along with fascinating facts about the universe.
They then get to try their hand at some fun, hands-on activities, creating model planets and constellations to take home and keep.
The workshops are designed to keep kids entertained and informed. But they're fun for all the family, too. We guarantee an absorbing, fun and mind-expanding time.
Or why not try a spot of stargazing?
In November, we're running two of our beloved Dark Skies sessions. Led by a guest astronomer, these sessions see you gaze through telescopes at the famously clear Yorkshire night skies.
Whether you're new to stargazing or an old hand, they're a great way to pass a winter evening. Just make sure you wrap up warm!
The sessions take place on the evenings of Friday 7 November and Friday 21 November.
Each session also includes a glow-in-the-dark tour of the caves under UV light. Learn more about our UV cave tour.
