Summer Solstice Sunset Celebration
- £10 adult, £6 child or by donation - pay what you feel
- 20 Jun 25
- Rose Cottage, Town Path, Harnham, Salibsury
- 20:30 - 22:00
Join us to celebrate the longest day of the year and the official start of summer. We will gather together in Rose Cottage garden, home of Harnham Water Madows Trust, and enjoy hot drinks, homemade biscuits and cake before setting off either across the water meadows or along the Town Path to watch the sun set (possibly through cloud, but we'll know it's there!).
As we gather and wander, we'll identify tree, wildflower and insect species. We may spot a Grey Heron or Little Egret in the ditches on the meadows, and should see bats hunting. Who knows what other wildlife we will see?
We’ll take a mindful pause together, noticing things that often get missed - the sound of flowing water, bird calls, the shapes of the clouds and the silhouettes of the trees.
Who is it for? This event is suitable for anyone interested in wildlife and wellbeing who wants to spend time in nature with others, learning new things. We value diversity, and hope to create a community that reflects the breadth of people in our society. Please share any medical, mobility, dietary or other needs on booking, so we can plan activities (and snacks!) that are suitable for all.
What we provide:
Tea, coffee, hot chocolate, herbal tea and homemade biscuits and cake on arrival
What to bring:
Dress for the weather. We will be outside for the duration of the session. Please check the weather forecast and bring waterproofs and warm layers.
Guide dogs are welcome but no other dogs please.
You may want to bring a torch (although we’ll try and keep torches off to enjoy the sunset and dusk light).
*Ticket sales end Wednesday 18th June at 12pm, when the baking will begin!*
