Councillors were delighted to agree to host the event, pointing out that this would be a prestigious event for the Town Council and Warminster to host and build on the council’s existing support for Darks Skies and Cranborne Chase National Landscape.
Dark skies are an increasing source of tourism income and have both environmental and climate change benefits.
The organisers of the StarFest will engage with local schools and community organisations to make the event as successful as possible.
