Celebrate the summer solstice in wildish style!Join us for an evening of feasting and musical merriment this June! An invitation to co-create a community gathering in celebration of the sun at the height of it’s power, and on our chosen date -the full moon! The solstice (which falls on the 20th this year) marks the longest day and shortest night of the year, when the trees are in full leaf and flowers are flourishing. It is the peak of our expressive expansive selves, a time to celebrate who we are and what we have achieved, both collectively and individually. Come on your own or with friends, you will be welcomed warmly :-)
The order of events...
6:30-8pm communal meal – Bring a dish to share!
8-10pm Campfire shenanigans – bring a song, poem or story to share, or just join in with others offerings. There will be percussion instruments to borrow, and guided group songs and drumming too. We will mark the moment the sun sets at 21:50pm!
Location
We will meet at the community veg garden on Urswick Road, Ulverston. There is a campfire circle and a wooden cabin for use in case of bad weather (we will substitute campfire for atmospheric candlelight!)
Booking and costs
The tickets for this event are very low to cover costs, admin and promotion. The intention is that we all contribute to the evening in some way, whether that be with a song or poem, some logs for the fire, help with set up or pack down etc. Additional donations are welcomed on the night for those who prefer to just rock up and enjoy what's on offer, and can afford to chip in a bit more to support the event. Have a think about what works for you and I will be in touch a week or so before the event to check in with you all! It also really helps me if you can book at least a week before the event so I have confidence that we are going ahead. I am offering an early bird ticket as a little incentive (available until the end of May)!
So get on your gladrags, free your spirits, and stoke the fires - inside and out! Hope to see you there!
