About the event

Across much of England, true darkness has been gradually eroded. But here in the East, pockets of it remain: along Norfolk's saltmarsh coast, out on the Suffolk heaths, over the wide fenland skies inland. In this new collection of nighttime photographs, award-winning astrophotographer Paul Haworth celebrates these precious surviving places, harvesting ancient starlight where it meets an understated but extraordinary landscape. A reminder of what true darkness offers, and what's worth protecting before it is gone forever.
