See the partial eclipse at Hengistbury Head

Wednesday 12th August 2026 from 18:00pm

Hengistbury Head Visitor Centre

Hengistbury Head Nature Reserve, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH6 4EN, South West

Join astronomers Kate Earl and Bill Coombes from Skyhigh Astronomy for a deep partial solar eclipse watch at Hengistbury Head on the Dorset coast.

From this location, around 95% of the Sun will be obscured by the Moon at maximum eclipse, creating a dramatic and memorable celestial spectacle. Meet us at Hengistbury Head (What3Words: when.beyond.reject) to observe the event alongside fellow astronomy enthusiasts.

Please remember that safe solar viewing is essential. Even during a deep partial eclipse, the Sun remains bright enough to cause permanent eye damage without appropriate solar filters. Fingers crossed for clear skies!

Tickets available via Eventbrite.
