Ilfracombe Rotary are proud to have sponsored the Exmoor Dark Skies Festival enabling over 700 students from local schools to participate in a planetarium experience at the Ilfracombe Academy.    

The sessions were then open to the public in the evening and we were offered 20 complimentary tickets enabling some Rotarians to also attend.  It was an absolutely fascinating experience. 

Exmoor National Park is Europe's first International Dark Sky Reserve and they have introduced a 16 day festival with over 40 events.
