About the event
The word solstice comes from Latin solstitium, meaning "sun stands still," as the Sun's path apparently pauses before reversing direction. We’ll be marking the winter solstice together in the woods, celebrating the shortest day and longest night of the year and celebrate the returning light.

Coppice Club is our regular gathering to tend the woods together, coppicing hazel, making charcoal and picking up bushcraft skills as we go. All abilities welcome, and there's always tea by the fire. Find out more about Coppice Club →
