The Big Switch Off of lights across Grasmere and Ambleside is happening again on the evening of Thursday February 23.
Following the success of two previous events, street lights will be turned off and hotel, businesses and residents are encouraged to take part by turning their own lights off.
Jack Ellerby, Friends of the Lake District’s Dark Skies Cumbria Officer, said: “Last February the clear skies gave a really impressive show of thousands of stars after all the lights went off.
”I talked to visitors and residents out and about and they were so pleased to have the opportunity to see so many stars.
”This year we’ve created a brochure for accommodation business guests to encourage them to step outside, look up and be wowed by how many stars they can see.”
