Thank you so much....   we love doing this, it's hard work but rewarding to see people getting involved!

Fab! Good to see some familiar faces there.

Do you issue day passes? Haven't got any annual leave to spare at the moment!

Might be worth adding to our events calendar as well Sarah: https://stargazerslounge.com/calendar/

Thanks, will ad onto the calendar   

Re day passes...   we only have weekend passes as we're limited to numbers, however, if we still have spaces w can release a few day passes nearer to the time, but will only do this probably the week before.  Best to check the website for this  www.solarsphere.events

We were at our first Solarsphere this year, and it was really good. Here's the comment I put on their Facebook page.

"If Carlsberg did star parties...
They wouldn't be a patch on Solarsphere. Such a great bunch, and sooo friendly. 
Having 8 year olds checking your wristband going into the talks is just one indication of what a 'different' festival this one is.
What's noticeable is the fact that there are really high profile speakers prepared to come to talk with us, but you get the feeling it's not just another speaking engagement for them, and they're really approachable.
So massive thanks to everyone involved. 
A couple of weeks ago we were at Bluedot, which was great; but this was ... something special."

Bookings open on 1st September I think - book early and get it at 2018 prices (£45 per person including camping), the price goes up to £50 at the end of November (£20 / £25 for ages 13-16 year olds) - very family friendly.

Our first visit last year was one of our highlights of 2018. Such a great event.

The weather doesn't look great this year though, so if you're in a tent bring spare pegs and guys.
