The venue is primarily designed for local tourism businesses to hire the Observatory space in collaboration with astronomy, wildlife or other relevant leads to provide their visitors with unforgettable bookable clifftop experiences – especially during out-of-season times to support all-year-round tourism, though the space is bookable all-year-round for suitable events. We strongly recommend event organisers book at least 1 month in advance of the date they require, and it is currently completely free to book the venue for periods of single day/night uses during this trial period.
The Observatory venue also provides a great opportunity for other night-time activities such as nocturnal wildlife observation, as well as activities such as solar astronomy (observing and photographing the sun), wildlife watching, educational events and classes (the 10-man venue contains a large flat screen for presentations), surveying hub and environmental awareness events.
The astronomical observatory building itself features a rolling roof, whereby the entire roof of the building is able to be rolled away onto the adjacent support structure in order to permit viewing the sky from inside the building. The roof is rolled away only whilst the observatory is in use and is otherwise locked closed. The building is now bookable online by appropriate event organisers.
