Festival Information
South East
Overview
Solstice at Wasing is a summer solstice gathering held at Wasing Estate in Berkshire, combining ceremony, music and wellness experiences within a woodland setting. The event brings together artists, facilitators and participants for an overnight celebration marking the longest day of the year.
The programme begins in the afternoon with activities such as yoga, meditation and wild swimming before moving into the evening ceremony. Music, song and ceremonial activities take place around the Solstice fire in the Sacred Glade, creating a communal space for reflection and celebration.
During the early hours of the morning, participants gather for a torchlit procession to Solstice Hill, where the sunrise ceremony welcomes the arrival of the longest day. The gathering continues into the morning with further wellness sessions and time to relax in the woodland environment.
