1pm - 4pm
Free but donations to Hengistbury Head Visitor Centre welcome
Celebrate the Winter Solstice at Hengistbury Head with a performance by Ray Collective.
From 1 - 2:45 pm come and craft a winter wand to use in the procession at 3 pm. The drop-in workshop will be run by Anna Shiels of Banana In the Moon and is suitable for young folk and adults.
At 3pm sharp, the procession will start at the Visitor Centre courtyard.
Everyone is invited to join in and sing a song as we walk - a song written especially for this event, which will be released beforehand for folk to learn. Or you can just watch it all happen - everyone is welcome to be as they are!
Join Ray Collective (sometimes described as Nu-rave Morris dance) as they perform their Winter Solstice show - only ever performed once on the solstice, and never again. All invited to join in afterwards!
The weather can feel wild as the site is coastal - so dress up warm with good footwear as it might get a bit damp underfoot.
Ray Collective self-fund and put on these events for free, creating opportunities for all folk to gather and celebrate the turning of the seasons. This year’s event is held in conjunction with the Hengistbury Head Visitor Centre, and any voluntary contributions will go directly towards supporting the Centre’s work.
Your support helps Hengistbury Head continue to offer events and activities for the community, while developing new experiences for the future. Every contribution, however small, makes a difference. Thank you for supporting Hengistbury Head!
