The facility, which will be fully led by an expert tour guide, will provide guests with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the night sky as it is rarely seen.

Visitors to the centre will be able to explore our solar system, star-gaze using telescopes to view the night sky without light pollution, as Davagh is the only official ‘dark sky’ park in Northern Ireland, using cutting-edge technology such as holographic installations, virtual reality headsets, and bespoke evening audio-visual shows. The observatory is located among the ancient Beaghmore Stone Circles, at the foot of the Sperrin Mountains, in the middle of a rich terrain with significant archaeological and cultural importance, as well as a millennia-long history.
