The odyssey continues - a unique collaborative effort between the community and English heritage brings us another precious opportunity tocelebrate together during the summer solstice at Stonehenge as somany of our ancestors have for many thousands of years.


The car park opens Tuesday evening 2oth June at 8pm. The stones will open at 10pm until 9am (no entry after 6am). The car park closes at 1pm.


Sunrise will occur at 04.58 on Wed 21st June 2006


There will be a special bus service from Salisbury railway station
for around £7 round trip. Buses are every half hour from 20:30pm
until 01:15am to Stonehenge and return every twenty minutes or

Acoustic music is encouraged, amplified music is not allowed, so
bring your drums, bells, whistles and guitars etc.


There will be Recycling points and we will be given a clear rubbish
bag. The contents of these clear bags will then be sorted so that
as much of the rubbish can be recycled as possible, you are invited to participate in making this initiative a success


Wholesome vegetarian food will be available from approved food
stands.


This celebration is a product of all of us, the synergy, the magic
that we create when each one of us is everything that we can be. We are encouraged to use the areas around the outside of the stones for workshops, "talks", chanting, games, music, theatre dance etc,


"Bring what you would like to see"


There will be The Sacred Soapbox - a spoken word area where YOU can have your say, share your poetry and songs. Also two braziers where impromptu events can take place Be colourful, dress up bring banners always be mindful of health and safety realities any questions in this area should be addressed with english heritage in advance.


By embracing the optimum possibility for this Stonehenge event, we will increase the likelihood of it being successful, adding one more grain of sand to the scales that hold the balance for our global future - Remember at a critical point, one grain of sand can tip the scales one way or the other- your input right now may be that grain of sand.
