I am going to the Eclipse at Sandown on Saturday. Will people laugh at me if I take binoculars, Cheap Alli Online Without Prescription or is it commonplace?
Also, how much should I budget for food and drink and is there a place there I can get hog roasts and such?

The eclipse race? Good idea to take binoculars.
You might get bored just looking at the hats (then again, maybe not)

As for the real lunar eclipse, binoculars might be interesting to look at the Full Moon (and you don’t get blinded looking at a LUNAR eclipse). However, it is a penumbral eclipse (the Moon does not enter in the proper shadow, so there will not be much to see).

Your use of “on Saturday” implies this coming Saturday — July 4, Full Moon. Obviously, if there is an eclipse, it cannot be an eclipse of the Sun (which occurs at New Moon).
So, we should understand that you will use the binoculars to look at the Moon, not the Sun.
And at hats, of course.
If you want to get blinded faster, then by all means, take your binoculars. Please check out the link below on directions to safely view an eclipse.
Hog roast? Pack a sandwich.
If its a solar eclipse (eclipse of the sun):
You should never look directly at the sun. Especially with binoculars and telescopes. If you use a telescope, you’ll only do it once, once with one eye and again with the other.
You can buy special equipment to look at the sun, its like binoculars with sunglasses on them. I would look into them if i were you.
You can still damage your eyes even if its an eclipes.
If its a lunar eclipse (eclipse of the moon):
Go ahead.
Take your binoglers; you’ll need them to ogle the opposite sex (or same sex, depending on your orientation). I know nothing of the history of this annual event, but there is no solar or lunar eclipse at the event this year.
I don’t think the solar eclipse is visible from Sandown. If you are going to the real eclipse in Asia, binoculars are just fine for observing the eclipsed Sun at totality (but at no other time). When I went to the solar eclipse in Libya in 2006 I brought my Coronado Personal Solar Telescope for the partial phases, and my 10×50 binoculars for totality.
Lunar eclipse of Jul 7 – yes binocs are good
solar eclipse Jul 22 – NO BINOCS _DANGERous
Just read some other answers
At no time ever look at the sun with telescope or binoculars. What causes problems is that with the sun darkened, we have a tendacy to look longer, but UV rays are there and without knowing the moon could move and the sun light be back. So if you are using binocs that split second of sunlight will burn your retina and by by sight. The duration of an eclipse is different depending where you are and unless you happen to be in the exact line that the time of totality is predicted, your time will vary. So during a solar eclipse never look directly at the sun, use the averted methods.
