Sky Sessions: Chasing Shadows

Sky Sessions: Chasing Shadows

Overview

Join us for the most spectacular astronomical event since 1999. Witness an almost total Solar Eclipse on a guided beach Wander.

CHASING SHADOWS
The sky won't do this again until 2081.

On the 12th of August, the moon will slide in front of the sun and take 93% of it with it the deepest eclipse Britain has seen since 1999. We're marking it with a wander along Aldwick beach to the Mulberry Harbour wreck, eclipse glasses on, until the light itself starts to change.

👓 certified eclipse glasses, yours to keep
