Summer Solstice is the most important day of the year at Stonehenge and a truly magical time to be there. It’s a celebration that brings together England’s New Age Tribes (neo-druids, neo-pagans, Wiccans) with families nearby, tourists, travellers and party people – 1000’s of them!
For many, the impulse to arrive at Stonehenge in time for the Solstice is a little like all those people drawn to the strange rock in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It’s akin to a spiritual experience. Anyone who has witnessed the crowd become silent as the sky begins to brighten can attest to that. You will enjoy approx 3 hours within the circle at sunset on June 20th or sunrise on June 21st.
Don’t miss it!
