Dusking Swim, Fire and Stories at Moffat Distillery 


Fully immerse yourself in a Dark Sky experience at Moffat Distillery with a dusk swim, a warming fire, storytelling and good company.

Moffat Distillery - Distillery, Moffat DG10 9FE, UK

On arrival we will light our fire in the firebowl and then, in the growing darkness, we'll enter the water together for a swim with tow floats glowing like fireflies. Warming up round our fire with a hot wild foraged tea in hand, we will gather around for chat, some fireside stories and the toasting of marshmallows.

Come and experience water, fire and darkness in good company.
