Alban Arthan (Midwinter) Gathering

The Cor Gawr Gorsedd midwinter gathering will be from 4:30pm-6:30pm on Sunday 19th December 2010. Those with tickets should gather from 4pm in Stonehenge car park. Please ensure you bring your tickets with you as you will need the pass to enter the car park. The car park must be cleared by 7pm.

Tickets are available only in advance, subject to confirmation by English Heritage, from the Autumn Equinox 22nd September. Further ordering information will be posted here, or you can contact us via the Contact Form.

Additional Dates already agreed provisionally with English Heritage are as follows. Please remember that events organized for Stonehenge are always at risk of last minute cancellation (owing to any recent damage or risk of disturbance). If you are in any doubt as to whether the event is still happening, get in touch with Chrissie Cleere, Lead Priest and Organiser

  • Midsummer : Friday 24 June 2011 (dawn)

Dates awaiting confirmation from English Heritage are:

  • Midwinter : Sunday 18th December 2011 (dusk)
  • Midsummer : Sunday 24th June 2012 (dawn)
  • Midwinter : Sunday 16th December 2012 (dawn)

As the Gorsedd works on a Special Access pass, the Cor Gawr rituals are ticketed events, with a number limit of 100 people at Midsummer and 80 for Midwinter. The tickets are often sold out up to a month before the date, so do book early. If you require multiple tickets, please include the names of everyone you have booked tickets for in your request. Please note that tickets must be booked in advance, and cannot be picked up at the site. They must be brought with you to the Gorsedd as they contain a pass for the car park without which you will not be admitted.

Everyone is asked to bring offerings to the spirits of place, bread and mead for the shared feasting (mead must be in plastic bottles as glass ones will not be permitted within the Stones), and contributions to the eisteddfod should they wish. Please dress warmly!

If your have any photos of one of the Gorseddau, or poetry, or anything that would contribute to a review page, please send to the Lead Priest and organiser, Chrissie Cleere.

ALL TICKETS ARE NOW SOLD

The Midsummer Gorsedd will take place on our usual Midsummer’s Day – 24th June – at dawn. Gather at 4:00am for 4:30am. Entry strictly by ticket only which must be obtained in advance. Tickets are available from 21st March by post or online – details below.

Date: Thursday, 24 June 2010
Time: 04:30 – 07:00

We will gather at the Stonehenge car park at 4pm, with access into the stones from 4:30am-6:30am. As the Gorsedd works on a Special Access pass, the Cor Gawr rituals are ticketed events, with a number limit of 100 people. The tickets are often sold out early, so do book as soon as possible. There is a maximum of 6 tickets per application. It is suggested that those with tickets gather from 4am in Stonehenge car park. Please bring your tickets with you as you will need the pass to enter the car park. The car park must be cleared by 7am.

We keep the ticket prices as small as possible in order to allow all who wish to attend the opportunity; whilst we would love to make the event completely free, as we have exclusive access to the stones outside of normal opening hours we do make a contribution to English Heritage in recognition of the costs they incur to allow us entry at these times.

If you wish to book multiple tickets, please include the names of everyone you have booked tickets for in your request. Please note that tickets must be paid for in advance, and cannot under any circumstances be picked up at the site. They must be brought with you to the Gorsedd as they contain a pass for the car park without which you will not be admitted.
