Night of the Darkness

NIGHT OF DARKNESS | 14 OCTOBER | 7 TO 10 PM | PARK OF THE PROVINCIAL DOMAIN OF ATLANTIKWALL RAVERSYDE | FREE OF CHARGE

Savour the darkest night of the year and enjoy yourself at the fun workshops and stops along the marked-out route. These nocturnal activities take place at two locations within cycling distance of each other (2 kms) and are free of charge. Don’t forget to bring your torch (bright lights and lasers are not allowed).  

The Provincial Domain Atlantikwall Raversyde joins forces with the Rescue Shelter for Birds and Wildlife (VOC). The focus is on nocturnal animals which you can discover during the fun stops along the tour. Both young and old can take part in these activities. The cosy night bar is a great place to conclude your tour with some tasty snacks and a drink. 

Do you want to improve your knowledge of the stars and planets? Space Science Centre Astropolis is open until 11.30 PM. You can gaze at the stars through a number of different telescopes, visit the large dome, watch a film about the wonders of the night skies and much more! 

In collaboration with Astropolis, the Ostend Bird and Wildlife Rescue Centre, the Province of West Flanders, Tartes et Bastons and Horizon Educatief.
