About Alban Hefin
The Summer Solstice is the time of maximum light – when the countryside around us revels in colourful and fragrant splendour. This time is known in the Druid tradition as that of Alban Hefin – ‘The Light of Summer’ or ‘The Light of the Shore’...At Alban Hefin the spiral of the year has expanded to its widest point and now the hours of light are as long as they will ever be. (from the OBOD website)
Alban Hefin is the Druid celebration of the Summer Solstice, when the sun brings the longest day and shortest night of the year, the high point of Summer. It is a time for rejoicing in the warmth and light, for breathing in the Summer air, and for joining together in community and fellowship.
Save the date and join us for our ceremony to celebrate this festival!
This ritual is planned to be in-person, outdoors, in accordance with the UK government guidelines around Covid-19 safety.
So that we are able to manage numbers, booking is required for this event.
