Summer Solstice

Summer Solstice on Uisneach

Since prehistory, the Summer Solstice has been seen as a significant time of year, being marked by rituals and gatherings. The Hill of Uisneach, with its elevation and clear views of over more than twenty counties, was and still remains the perfect landscape to celebrate the Solstice and the energy it brings.

This event is taking place on Saturday, 21st June on the Hill of Uisneach, from 19:30 in the carpark and head up the Hill from there, finishing up a little after 22:30.

Become one with this sacred landscape as it comes alive as we weave our way through the myths, legends and local lore as they breathe life back into the past. Immerse yourself in this sacred landscape, where time will stand still and connections made.
