A one off once a year chance to experience Stonehenge on the morning of the magical winter solstice. Witness sunrise on the morning of December 21st amongst a gathering of members of England's new age tribes, including Druids and Pagans. Join the masses at Stonehenge in the build up to sunrise, gather amongst the neo-druid and neo-pagan pilgrims and witness their annual ceremony marking this special day. At winter solstice, access to the stones themselves is free and without restriction, so you will have the opportunity to get up close and touch the stones themselves.
The winter solstice occurs when the Sun reaches its northernmost latitude, giving the most hours of daylight throughout the year. Traditionally, the event marks the first day of summer, and is celebrated all around the world. One of the most legendary solstice celebrations is held at Stonehenge because of its spiritual significance to druids, pagans and sun worshipers. So, join the crowds who flock to the ancient site and celebrate the 2016 winter solstice during your sunrise viewing.
The special tour means you can have a real authentic experience, a great photo opportunity and valuable insight into ancient Britain.
