Not sure if someone has posted this already but as the Summer Solstice celebrations at Stonehenge have been cancelled, they are steaming the sunset live on Sat 20th June and the sunrise Sun 21st June.
If you cant join in live they are uploading recordings too. I’m gutted we can’t go; we only live 50 mins away and were going to make a weekend of it and go for a swim in the springs and climb up Glastonbury Tor.
What time of the year are you going?? Watching a full moon (and maybe a sunrise?) there is one my dreams!!
Stonehenge is believed to be an astronomical observatory (the most popular date being midsummer) but the winter solstice seems to be a good date too!
It is thought that the winter solstice was actually more important to the people who constructed Stonehenge than the summer solstice. The winter solstice was a time when most cattle were slaughtered (so they would not have to be fed during the winter) and the majority of wine and beer was finally fermented. - Source
