Summer Solstice Celebration

Stand-by to make garlands of flowers and give offerings to the sunshine!
The summer solstice marks an important moment in the year when the days are longest and the strawberries are most delicious. For thousands of years, people have gathered together to mark the moment. This year, you can be part of that gathering!
Hosted by the month of June himself, expect tongue-in-cheek ceremonies, ancient tomfoolery and an extra dollop of cream all round.
Join us for:
Ancient seasonal ceremonies with a modern twist
Bare feet and standing in circles
Wild crowns and garlands
Strawberries & cream!
Bring your friends, bring your family. Why not bring a blanket and an evening meal! It won’t be dark for ages!
