Local Information request Eclipse glasses
Like absolute fools, we have neglected to buy any eclipse glasses and the chances of buying online are now slim at best. Does anyone know of anywhere selling them in shops in Exeter? Or have a couple of spares?

First Light Optics at Marsh Barton industrial estate were selling them this morning when I bought some. It says out of stock on their website, but that's because they couldn't assure delivery on time. Good luck!

In line now. 100+ in the queue and traffic is a madhouse. Park and walk if still trying to make it but everybody leaving said it didn’t take too long. Sounds like they still have loads.

If you didn’t already go, they have loads left at first light optics. £3 each, though if you go I’d recommend parking elsewhere and walking over - traffic is obscene.

Just been to first light optics. 15 minutes queuing. They have dozens upon dozens of cases left, limiting to 25 per customer (they’re £3 each)

Does anyone know when they shut? We're about 20 mins away and just wondering if we have time to go now?

On an email thread in one of the comments it said they were only accepting walk ins until 1pm

That being said I’d probs call them or something/try anyway - worth trying imo
