else.\u00a0 In tribute to this,\u00a0 Exmoor National Park runs a two week Dark Skies Festival in October every year.<\/p>\n<p>There is a brilliant line up with all sorts of magical experiences on offer: from night walks, to stargazing and pizza sessions, to wildlife at night talks with hot chocolate &amp; marshmallows&#8230;\u00a0 There&#8217;s even yoga under the stars!\u00a0 Whether you&#8217;re going as a family, a couple, in a group of friends or solo, exploring the moors in the dead of night with a meteor shower happening overhead makes for a much more thrilling experience than your average Halloween party!\u00a0 (For a full schedule of events, please <strong><a
