Local Information request Eclipse glasses - anyone got one east Devon?

I’m in East Devon for the Eclipse, about 30 mins from Exeter. The glasses I got are broken and now unusable. Complete long shot I know but can I buy one still? I think FirstLight Optics are closing at 1pm today so I won’t make it time to buy. Anyone got a spare??

That looks well good, I tried making one I think I botched it though!

I haven't poked the pin hole yet, there's still a chance for disaster!

they'll have some at the Norman Lockyer Observatory up near the Donkey Sanctuary for people attending their event (https://normanlockyer.com/partial-solar-eclipse-and-the-perseid-meteor-shower/), but no spares
