Total eclipse of the sun - walk and viewing (6.1km)

More info & tickets

Celestial queers! ✨ It is time to turn around, for this total eclipse of the sun ☀️🌕

First, we will have a fabulous, short after work walk to Scheveningen beach to prepare ourselves for the highlight of the evening, a beautiful solar eclipse. We will arrive at Scheveningen beach around 19:45 / 19:50. While walking we probably can already see some things happening in the sky, but the eclipse reaches its highlight around 20:11.

So hopefully, the skies are clear and if Kristen Stewart makes an appearance, let it be better than the Twilight series!

❗❗❗ Not just bright eyes, but also protected eyes! Bring (if you have them or have funds to buy them) solar eclipse glasses! (regular sunglasses are not enough). These glasses are needed to protect your eyes from the sun. We will bring 10 glasses with us as well. ☀️👓
