Stonehenge Summer Solstice Guide 2025

Brades Acre is delighted to announce that on Saturday, 21st June 2025, the Summer Solstice begins as the sun rises over the Heel Stone at the world-renowned ancient monument, Stonehenge. This celestial event marks the longest day of the year and has been a moment of deep spiritual connection for people for thousands of years.

Since Stonehenge was built around 2600 BC, people have gathered to witness the sun’s rays perfectly aligning with the ancient stones. This wasn’t just a sunrise; it was a moment when they felt connected to something bigger, something ancient and powerful. It’s a tradition that has continued through generations, and even today, people feel that same sense of wonder and awe when they see it!

We have a long and proud history of welcoming campers who journey to witness the Summer Solstice sunrise. We provide a comfortable and convenient camping experience, ensuring you can fully appreciate this remarkable occasion. Join us at Brades Acre and be part of a tradition that spans millennia.
