School Visits

OM for schools

A visit to OM will get pupils (and teachers!) excited about the dark sky, astronomy and archaeology.

You’ll travel on a journey through time and space star hopping across the universe with  your very own star guide.  Students will learn about the landscape, the archaeological heritage of the Sperrins region and the nearby Beaghmore Stone Circles.

OM Dark Sky Park
