Ever wanted to go to Stonehenge for the Summer Solstice? Now is your chance to come and walk with me to get a glimpse of what 13 hours overnight looks like at one of the most ancient sites in the world. On the night before the summer solstice, the gates open to the public at 7pm. This provides a rare opportunity for the public to be among the stones without a private viewing. The festivities commence with a traditional Druid ceremony, followed by continuous drumming throughout the night until 8am when attendees are asked to leave. The atmosphere is incredible and often imbued with a sense of spirituality, and sometimes even tribal energy. The sound of the drums will echo in your ears for days. Watching the sun rise through the stones, surrounded by a sea of people, is a breathtaking sight that makes the lack of sleep entirely worthwhile.
