Event Times
- Begins: 6:15pm
- Maximum Eclipse: 7:12pm

View the Eclipse Safely
A partial solar eclipse is completely safe to observe only when using proper solar viewing protection. Never look directly at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses or a suitable solar filter.
Bring your own eclipse glasses if you have them. A limited number of certified eclipse glasses will be available to purchase on the evening.
As this is a partial solar eclipse, the Sun will remain visible throughout the event and will never be completely covered by the Moon.
Everyone is Welcome
Whether you’re an experienced astronomer, a first-time observer, or simply curious about the night sky, we’d love to see you. Families and visitors of all ages are welcome.
Meet Local Astronomy Enthusiasts
Chat with members of StarQuest Warminster Astronomy Club, ask questions, and learn more about the eclipse, the Sun, and astronomy.
Enjoy the Pavilion Parlour
The Pavilion Parlour will be staying open later, so you can relax with a drink while enjoying this special celestial event.
