English Heritage will livestream this year’s winter solstice at Stonehenge, with viewers from all around the world unable to attend now able to watch the event.

On December 21, starting at around 8:30 AM GMT for the sunrise and 17:15 PM GMT for the sunset, English Heritage’s YouTube channel will feature a livestream, where audiences can watch the event put on by the Druid and Pagan groups of England.

Due to the ongoing global pandemic, this year, Stonehenge will be unable to facilitate those wanting to see the sunrise in person.

The event is usually incredibly popular, drawing crowds of more than 5,000 people.

“The solstices and equinoxes are incredibly important moments in Stonehenge’s calendar, but this year has not been kind to such gatherings,” said Nichola Tasker, Stonehenge director.

“We hope instead that people will enjoy the solstice sunrise online from their home. We can’t wait to do the winter solstice justice at Stonehenge next year.”
