Eclipse 2026 Photo Gallery

People came together across the district to witness the eclipse, with churches using the rare celestial event as an opportunity to celebrate community, creativity and reflection.

Events in Barnsley, Chesterfield, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield brought together hundreds of people, many of them marking what may have felt like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. To help churches make the most of the occasion, the district offered £500 grants towards the cost of hosting community eclipse parties.

Thank you to everyone who has shared their photos.
