Join the crowds at Blackpool Pleasure Beach for what promises to be one of the North West's largest gatherings to watch the partial solar eclipse. Visitors are invited to gather on the park's overpass beside Wallace & Gromit's Thrill-O-Matic, with extended opening hours allowing guests to experience the eclipse from inside the park.

The eclipse begins at around 6:13 pm, reaches maximum at 7:10 pm with approximately 91.5% coverage, and ends around 8:04 pm. Pleasure Beach will be giving away 1,000 free eclipse glasses to visitors while stocks last.
