The Wellderness Summer Solstice 2025

The Wellderness started with a single sapling. Not a real one, they came later. This sapling was figurative. Its seed was planted many years ago, in our collective love of nature and in our community spirit.The Wellderfolk (as we call our community) gave fertile ground for the sapling to grow. And together, we nurtured that tiny tree as it spread skywards and pushed out strong branches.Like any other deciduous tree, it sheds leaves to nourish the ground, and drops seeds to give life a chance. And from those seeds, new trees have already begun to grow.Which is just the beginning. We want to touch the lives of 10 million people, and that’s going to take a forest.And while each tree will be temporary, the forest is forever.That’s our 1,000-year legacy.

Join us around the campfire for solstice stories, Mythago mayhem, and an ancient druidic ritual

Wild Heart Hill

<h2>This year, the solstice lands on a Saturday, and we’re gathering at Wild Heart Hill from mid-afternoon until the daylight dips behind the horizon.</h2>With the sun reaching its peak, Mick Channon will tell a story of the solstice and invite us to waken our spirits with drumming and chanting.Then, when our energy is up, we’ll slide into a druidic ritual and share our gratitude for the light and the life it gives to all of nature.After offerings to the fire, Mythago Morris will bring their unique blend of mayhem while the sun slowly arcs along the hill line.You’re invited to dress in your finest celebratory style and bring instruments to make noise: a drum, a tambourine, or your hands and voice. Don’t worry if you don’t have anything - we’ll bring plenty of spares.Tickets are charged at £12 for adults and £6 for children up to 16 years old. Under fives are free.As always, we’re charging £5 per car and £10 per van to raise funds for tree growing. Parking will be limited, so please share where possible.<h2>Overview of the day</h2>4pm to 6pm - arrive, find your spot and ground yourself in the space6pm to 7pm - solstice ceremony, led by Mick Channon7.30pm to 8.30pm - Mythago Morris8.30pm to 10pm - we hold the space, you choose what to do with it10pm - closing ceremony11pm - everyone off siteCamping is available and likely to fill up fast.
