What is the Fall Equinox?
This celebration occurs late September, with this year happening on the 23rd (this coming Tuesday). The word ‘Equinox’ itself, comes from the Latin term for equal night, as it represents when there is roughly the same amount of daylight and nighttime. Historically this holiday has had both a practical and spiritual meaning, due to it embodying the transition from summer to autumn. Farmers look to the full moon closest to the equinox as it creates a consistent, brighter moonlight, allowing an extended time for them to harvest crops before winter. This is known as the Harvest Moon.
While for others, the equinox represents a balance between the dark and light. A time for gratitude for the years’ efforts as we shift into the darker, more reflective months.
Why is it important at Stonehenge?
Many still believe in the spiritual power at the site. So, many pagans and druids visit Stonehenge to experience its energy. If you visit during the Fall Equinox, you should be able to experience (based on 2024) Druid ceremonies, dancing and spiritual practices.
How to get there!
Let's look at how to get there and what you should expect.
First and foremost, this event is FREE! You are not required to pay for any ticket or tour guide, which is one of the reasons why it is so popular. Which leads to the second point, expect a crowd. Normally Stonehenge attracts around 250 people. While this may not seem like a huge amount, the site itself is pretty small and can get crowded quickly - especially if you’re looking to get inside the stone circle.
I would recommend getting to the venue early to secure your parking spot. Every year the event is monitored by the English Heritage team to make sure there is no vandalism.
