News & Offers from Earby Hostel
What are Dark Skies and Dark Skies Festivals?
January 7th 2025
National Parks remain some of the darkest places in Great Britain and we celebrate our star-studded skies at Festivals throughout autumn and winter.
Our Dark Skies festivals are all about discovering, learning and enjoying the dark and the stars you can see as a result. This could mean getting out for an activity such as cycling, walking, running or caving at night, attending a stargazing party, or taking part in a daytime event, learning more about star constellations or making a rocket.
DARK SKIES FESTIVALS 2025
Since 2016’s inaugural event, the North Yorkshire collaboration has become an unmissable fixture in the calendar, with the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales National Park Authorities celebrating the jewels of the night sky.
DARK SKY EVENTS WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO!
⭐Broughton by Night⭐
Friday 17 January, 2025 @ 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm
Located a 10 minute drive from Earby Hostel
After a sell-out series of guided star gazing evenings last year, astronomer Chris Higgins returns to Broughton Sanctuary. The evening includes a vegetarian meal around the fire temple and a guided star gazing session.

⭐Malham Cove Magical Full Moon Experience⭐
Saturday 15 February, 2025 @ 6:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Steeped in mystery and myth, Malham promises to provide an adventure like no other…A traverse down to Janet’s Foss in the dark exudes atmosphere on big shiny, full moons or when it is very dark. And you’ll discover more about the folklore of this magical place. As we meander into the night, you’ll experience a sensory exploration led by Alison – a mindfulness instructor.

A recent guest left us a review that stated we are “a hostel that embodies what hostelling should be about.”
So what does hostelling mean to us and what do we hope to provide for guests?

So what does hostelling mean to us and what do we hope to provide for guests?
1. The communal spaces (living room, kitchen, dining room and garden) are at the heart of Earby Hostel are the perfect place to meet likeminded people.
2. Affordable accommodation in an amazing place. Look no further than our hostel if you want an amazing, convenient location with a great price tag.
3. Encouraging people to be passionate about the great outdoors. Many of our guests already love the great outdoors (psst, we are much-used stop off on the Pennine Way.) But we also love to see families and children fall in love with nature; whether that is through our wildlife garden, local landmarks and footpaths or with the help of local business such as @myexpeditionrocks.
