The most impressive solar eclipse for almost 30 years can be enjoyed by people across the country on Wednesday 12 August 2026.
Around 90-96 per cent of the Sun will be covered by the Moon shortly after 6pm, with the precise time varying by location.
A solar eclipse takes place when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, causing our lunar satellite to cast a shadow on Earth.
