Part of the Exmoor Dark Skies Festival 2025
As part of this year’s Exmoor Dark Skies Festival, we are thrilled to welcome Professor Roger Davies to Quince Honey Farm!
Join us to explore how the galaxies, collections of hundreds of billions of stars, were formed and what shaped them into the giant spiral galaxies and the red elliptical galaxies we see today. We’ll see how the smallest ripples in the early Universe give rise to the cosmic web and how these large structures affect galaxies. In the last 30 years we have discovered `supermassive’ black holes at the centres of galaxies with masses from one million to ten billion times the mass of the Sun, a discovery that led to the award of the 2020 Nobel Prize. What is their role in shaping galaxies?
A warming autumnal supper of chicken hotpot with homemade focaccia and root vegetable crisps will be served in our Nectary Restaurant to start the evening off, before the talk starts at approximately 7pm. Vegetarian and vegan options will be available.
Date: Thursday 30th October
Time: 6:30pm – 8:30pm (doors open at 6pm)
Price: £25 per person (tickets must be purchased in advance)
