A sunflower field near a Welsh city will invite visitors to enjoy the partial solar eclipse and an evening of summer entertainment this August.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday 12th August, Clearwell Farm is hosting a special Sunflower & Eclipse Evening. The event will combine sunflower picking, a giant maize maze, live entertainment, food, cocktails and one of the best views of the partial solar eclipse near Cardiff.<\/p>\n

The event begins at 5pm and will also feature live entertainment, street food and cocktails, creating relaxed summer atmosphere as the eclipse unfolds.<\/p>\n

The partial eclipse is due to begin at 6.17pm, reaching its maximum at 7.13pm, before ending at 8.07pm.<\/p>\n

A partial solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, but they do not line up in a straight row.<\/p>\n

The Moon blocks only a part of the Sun. From Earth, the Sun looks like it has a dark bite taken out of it or forms a crescent shape.<\/p>\n

Clearwell Farm, which is owned and run by David Phillips and his family, has become a popular destination for seasonal events. The eclipse evening follows the farm\u2019s first summer cider festival, which was held earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Organisers say the farm\u2019s open countryside provides an ideal setting to experience the celestial event while enjoying a relaxed summer evening among thousands of blooming sunflowers<\/p>\n

Tickets cost \u00a38 and are available through the Clearwell Farm website.<\/p>\n

Visitors are reminded never to look directly at the Sun without appropriate certified solar viewing glasses or other safe viewing equipment, even during a partial eclipse.<\/p>\n

More information and tickets are available on the Clearwell Farm website.<\/p>\n
