From Blackpool, you should see 91% coverage (dependent on cloud coverage). The light turns silvery, shadows sharpen, and the seafront cools for a few unforgettable minutes. It's a remember-where-you-were kind of moment, and what better place than here at Pleasure Beach Resort.
WHERE TO WATCH
We've set aside a dedicated spot where you can enjoy the eclipse. Free glasses will be handed out at 6pm (subject to availability).
Our main viewing point, with the 1,000 glasses on hand and the team leading a countdown to peak coverage.
SAFETY ADVICE
A solar eclipse is stunning, but never look directly at the Sun, even when it's mostly covered. Unprotected viewing can damage your eyes.
- Always use the certified eclipse glasses provided (get yours from the overpass at 6pm).
- Never look through a phone, camera, binoculars or telescope without proper solar filters.
- Supervise children at all times, glasses on before looking up.
Follow our team's guidance in the viewing zones.
Yes... we're giving away 1,000 pairs of certified eclipse glasses, free, on a first-come, first-served basis. Watching is part of your day at the park, with no separate ticket.
Just head to our viewing zone on the over pass (outside Wallace & Gromit's Thill-O-Matic) on the day. Our team will hand them out there. With 1,000 pairs, we'd recommend arriving early so you don't miss out.
The eclipse is due to start at 6PM, have 91% coverage at 7PM and finish at 8PM, when the park closes.
Eclipses are weather-dependent, but even under cloud you'll notice the daylight dimming. Your glasses are yours to keep either way.
