The Eclipse-nic event taking place on Wednesday 12 August is an informal gathering in Horsham Park to experience the partial eclipse as a community. Please note that equipment to view the eclipse will not be provided. We are encouraging attendees to view the eclipse indirectly due to the dangers of viewing the eclipse directly. We suggest that attendees bring their own colander - an easy method for viewing the eclipse indirectly. Certified solar eclipse glasses will not be available at the event and attendees using their own do so at their own risk. Solar eclipse glasses are not for sale at the museum.

Please note that if the event reaches capacity then you will need to wait to enter the Human Nature Garden.
