The winners were revealed at a gala event in Eastbourne on the 16th of March and the results made public in a feature in The Sunday Times on the 20th of March.
The Stargazer’s Cabin features a laser cut façade perforated with thousands of small holes which are precisely mapped to form the star constellations of the night sky.
