Join us for a family fun afternoon celebrating the season together and lighter days

To celebrate the changing season, we’d like to invite you to a new community tradition: a Winter Solstice Festival!

A winter celebration of community, nature, creativity and light, with the darkest day soon behind us.

A chance to step away from the usual hustle and bustle, spend time outdoors, and rediscover the simple pleasure of coming together.

20th Dec 1-3pm

We’d love you to be part of it.

Together, we will make hand-dipped candles to mark the lighter days ahead, create a nature mandala, and share messages of hope, along with food and games.

We envision a Christmas tree at the heart of it all, where people can share stories and decorate it together using natural materials.

We’ll have warming food and drinks, lighting, a little fire to gather around, and, if we can raise enough, a local choir to fill the afternoon with song.

This is a free family event for everyone to enjoy, so wrap up warm and join us by the campfire.

You’re very welcome to bring a plate, snacks or a drink to share with everyone.

This is a free drop-in event, but if you would like to donate, you’re welcome to. Donations support the garden and our free family events. Every contribution will help. You can donate securely here (https://pay.gogetpaid.co.uk/Io_76AXhV1qwFJLFm_2j7ff9yi15t6pxCLs6jw_fYGs)

Let's bring a little warmth, light and community spirit into the darkest part of the year.
