Recent fears that Stonehenge custodian’s ‘English Heretics’ would be influenced by new anti-traveler legislation (brought in on June 28th 2022) seem to be unfounded – However, the campaign would like travelers from the Romany community to take this opportunity to join with us @ Stonehenge in defiance of the latest unjustified and racist anti traveler laws specifically aimed at the Romany/ gypsy community. The latest indications are …

the Stonehenge drove will remain open for the forthcoming overnight autumn equinox celebrations > Sep 22 / dawn access Sep 23 2022 > (Free parking / camping/ dawn access into the stones.

thank you everyone that made it onto, or tried to reach, this years Stonehenge free festival ‘Satellite site’ only two miles away from those sacred stones > those Rock n Roll UFOs didn’t disappoint as Chris Bowsher’s R.DF. took to the stage @ 11:00 PM solstice eve and gave a fantastic show … that those devotees on site wont forget in a hurry – this was the campaign’s fifth consecutive year of sponsorship and co-ordination. Thank you everyone that rang the two helplines this year. Having agreed to move on from a previous site @ Ratfyn Barrows it wasn’t too long before Wilts police’s ‘liason’ officers found the new festival site’s location and eventually got round to closing the grassy drove to further vehicles – unfortunately Celtic Steve & the N.F.A band just missed out !! We move into uncharted territory as the new Anti traveller / gypsy laws are introduced. With the autumn equinox celebrations @ Stonehenge approaching we’ve yet to see how the council & police are to react. A huge debt of gratitude goes out to the campaign/ Dub Bus Krew, Lief/ Love & @narchy Sound system, Lisa Vallance, Lou & Mardi, etc, etc

Stonehenge Festival Campaign are hoping to put on music near Stonehenge from 18-19 June 2019

“Here is a quick summary of the Round Table meeting in Salisbury, held on the 4th March, 2019 to do with the forthcoming Spring Equinox at Stonehenge..
Wiltshire Council assured us that the Droves will be open for the Spring Equinox which is to be for the sunrise on Thursday 21st March. EH’s car park will be open free of charge from 4:30am. The Visitor Centre Toilets will be open and EH will be running buses from their car park. The car park will open at 4:30am and the buses will start running around 5:30am.”

Around 8.09 a.m. on Saturnday 22nd December 2018 the sun will rise at its most southernly as seen from the Stones.

But the Drove will probably be blocked by the alleged ‘authorities. , English Heritcage are opening their carpark at around 6 a.m. but refusing entry when its closed. See https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/stonehenge/plan-your-visit/winter-solstice-at-stonehenge/

STOP PRESS – the order closing the drove may have been quashed in court today

English Heriticage are opening their gates to their carpark and to Stonehenge at 5 a.m. on Sunday 23rd September 2018.

Unfortunately the Drove will be closed.

There are rumours of bands playing at Woodhenge
