Britain is set to experience its most dramatic solar eclipse in decades on August 12, with the moon passing in front of the sun and blocking around 90% of its light.

The eclipse will be visible across the UK, but the sun will be low in the sky as it sets—making a high, unobstructed vantage point essential for the best view.

That’s why Hertford Rugby Club is the perfect place to watch this spectacular event. Join us on the balcony for a clear, elevated view across the horizon, as daylight fades and the moon’s shadow sweeps across the country. Bring your friends, enjoy the atmosphere and experience this rare astronomical event together from one of Hertford’s best viewing spots.

The eclipse is expected to be the most impressive seen from the UK since 1999, with up to 90% of the sun covered in Hertford. Wherever you watch, make sure you use specialist solar-eclipse viewing glasses to protect your eyes.

Come to Hertford Rugby Club, take your place on the balcony and watch the skies put on a show.
