About This Event
DASH Astro hosts a solar eclipse viewing event at Dunwich Heath and Beach. The event takes place on 12 August. Tickets are free.
See the solar eclipse over Dunwich Heath on Wednesday 12 August.
A solar eclipse is a semi-rare event when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, blocking some or all of the sun’s light.
Viewing will start from 5.45pm, with 90% of the sun obscured by around 7.15pm. Visitors will get the chance to see the spectacle happen and learn more about our home star and how a solar eclipse happens.
Refreshments will be available to buy from the Coastguard Cottages Tea-room.
Suitable for all ages. This event is free but booking is required to help manage numbers.
Please be aware that this event is weather dependent, and if there is thick cloud cover or rain then the event won’t go ahead.
