English Heritage Stonehenge: Summer Solstice Arrangements

Full details of the Summer Solstice arrangements can be found on the English Heritage site.

Please note that the site will close at 15:00 on Tuesday 20 June with last normal day admissions at 13:00, so that English Heritage can prepare for Summer Solstice Managed Open Access. Stonehenge is closed on Wednesday 21 June and will re-open at 09:00 on Thursday 22 June.

Please note that following recent terrorist related incidents across the UK, additional security measures will be in place at Summer Solstice this year. English Heritage are working closely with Wiltshire Police to ensure the safety of all visitors and, as a result, only small bags (approx 30cm x 25cm x 15cm) will be allowed into the Monument Field and searches will be conducted. English Heritage strongly advise you to only bring essential items and thank you in advance for your patience.
