We have pleasure in once again collaborating with our friend and neighbour, Jane Green, a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, for what promises to be another evening to remember.
This is the night when the annual Geminids meteor shower peaks. A beautiful near Full Moon will illuminate the night sky but a preponderance of dazzling shooting stars will still be visible streaking above the Rathfinny landscape. Add to this a backdrop of the fabulous winter constellations of the Great Bear, Cancer, Orion, Taurus, Andromeda and Pegasus and it promises to be a magical evening!
So, we thought, why not celebrate with an evening of astronomy in the perfect setting of our Flint Barns?
The event will start with a festive Seven Sisters cocktail and short talk about Rathfinny’s progress and development. Our Flint Barns team will then serve a 3-course set menu and the evening of astronomy will begin. Please see the menu below.
Jane, a recent guest on ITV’s ‘This Morning’ show and fresh from presenting for Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic Team at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, is a presenter, broadcaster, science writer and successful author. She is a natural, eloquent and captivating speaker who possesses that rare ability to communicate the complexities of astronomy in a warm and easy to understand way. So why not join us for an insightful and memorable night!
7 – 10pm
We are also offering a 10% discount off Flint Barns rooms that evening, so why not fully relax and stay over after the evening? To enquire about availability please contact the Flint Barns team on flintbarns@rathfinnyestate.com

We often talk about sustainability here at Rathfinny, and that takes many forms from repurposing our menu’s in the restaurant for scrap paper to the introduction of paper rather than plastic spray guards around the young vines. One thing we haven’t really touched on is bird control.
