There is a partial eclipse on Monday 8th April- sadly Shropshire is unlikely to see it but if you are elsewhere (the South West?) you may be able to see something- assuming there are no clouds of course.

Where in the UK can you see the Monday 8 April solar eclipse? People in the UK can also see the solar eclipse happening in the US next week
