The Summer is here! Tomorrow is the Longest Day of the Year!

The longest day of the year is June 21st. It is the day when the sun is at its most northerly point and this is why it is "the longest day". Except for the fact that people dance around the stones all day so their feet must hurt?

On this day you can see a very old custom at Stonehenge, in Wiltshire, England. Every June 21st hundreds of people go to Stonehenge to watch the sun rise. Stonehenge is one of Europe's biggest stone circles. A lot of stones are ten or twelve metres high. The earliest part of Stonehenge is nearly 5,000 years old. It is thought that the Druids used Stonehenge for a calendar.

The sun shines on one famous stone - the Hell stone. For the Druids this is a very important moment of the year. The Druids were the priests in Britain 2,000 years ago. They used the sun and the stones at Stonehenge to know the start of the months and seasons.

A week later on Saturday 28 June we have our own Summer Freestyle - so come and celebrate the Summer with us with freestyle from 8pm until 1am with DJ Colin Shaul at our Rochester venue.
