Paddocks and Exhibition The Paddocks and Exhibition are currently CLOSED for refurbishment. We had hoped to be able to re-open in relatively 'normal' fashion by Christmas 2024, but it has become evident that this won't be the case and there won't be much in the way of normality!

Heads up, folks! Tonight (12/09/24) is looking very promising for views of the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) in the UK.

Geomagnetic activity levels have been high throughout the day and the indicators are this will likely continue into the evening.

There's a good chance Aurora may be seen naked eye from Northern latitudes (Scotland, Northern England, Northern Ireland) as soon as darkness falls, and may be visible further South, especially as a green glow on photos (try taking a picture if you're unsure!)

Good luck! And clear skies!
