Linking Communities to the Stars

Our vision to leave an enduring legacy for future generations:

StarDisc Wirksworth is embraced by the local community and thousands of visitors. Our vision is to spread its unique benefits throughout the UK and beyond. ​
      StarDisc in Wirksworth has had a transformative effect on peoples’ relationships with outdoor spaces, the night sky, and with their community. It has provided a focus for events and gatherings, for wonder and engagement. The vision to spread this impact across the United Kingdom is to be applauded and is genuinely worthy of support. I am certain that the StarDisc Array will make a positive contribution across the land, bringing together people of different disciplines and outlooks, to wonder at the natural world and worlds beyond our own and to learn and celebrate together in numerous ways.

The StarDisc Array: 

Aidan Shingler and supporters aspire to establish The StarDisc Array - an earthbound constellation of StarDiscs across the United Kingdom, replicating the success of the first one in Wirksworth, Derbyshire Dales. The StarDisc Array will form a series of visionary interactive public art installations and will deliver significant social, economic and community benefits. Each new StarDisc will celebrate diversity and creativity, promote inclusion and nurture cohesion in communities. 

​
The vision for the StarDisc Array is that it will endure both physically and through its civic value for generations to come. We envisage the StarDisc Array will intrigue and fascinate archaeologists of the future as an innovative educational facility, beacon of inspirational artistic excellence and example of enterprising community endeavor, created at the dawn of the 21st century.

The StarDisc Array is a torch bearer for the union of art, science and spirituality.
      StarDisc is a special and magical place and I firmly believe that more locations across the UK through the StarDisc Array would be of great benefit to many communities.

Star Seekers Way:

Post establishment of the StarDisc Array each StarDisc site will be linked via a mapped route to create Star Seekers Way; this stellar trail will help develop astro-tourism,  encouraging visitors to embark upon a journey of discovery to each StarDisc and its locality.

The StarDisc Array and Star Seekers Way will contribute to our creative and artistic heritage, and leave an enduring cultural legacy for the nations.
