East Midlands Eclipse Viewing Guide | UK News

Don’t miss Wednesday’s rare partial solar eclipse — the most significant since 1999, with the next total eclipse not until September 2029! The East Midlands is prime viewing territory, with spots like Rosliston Forestry Centre and Peak District Dark Sky Sites offering safe, scenic views — even while catching the Perseids meteor shower. Bennerley Viaduct in Nottinghamshire is serving pies for eclipse watchers, and despite some venues being booked or closed, the hype is real. Timing varies by location: Leicestershire kicks off at 6:15 PM, peaks at 7:11 PM, with 91% coverage in Leicester. Safety first — never look directly at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses or a pinhole projector. Weather looks perfect — grab your gear and get ready for a once-in-a-generation sky show.
