Summer Solstice 2026

Many of us were heartbroken when Beltane 2026 had to be cancelled due to the flooding at Rocky Creek Scout Camp. After months of anticipation, planning, and excitement, our community lost the opportunity to gather, celebrate, learn, reconnect, and simply be together. Rather than let that spirit fade, we are creating something special. 🌞 Summer Solstice Gathering & Witches Market 📍 Samford Showgrounds 📅 Gathering: 11-13 December 2026 🛍️ Market: 12-13 December 2026 Join us for three magical days of community, connection, celebration, and renewal as we honour the Summer Solstice together. This is more than just a market. It is an opportunity to immerse yourself in a vibrant Pagan, Witchcraft, and alternative community gathering featuring: ✨ Rituals and celebrations ✨ Community feast ✨ Workshops and talks ✨ Live entertainment and performances ✨ Social activities and connection spaces ✨ Camping and community spirit ✨ A two-day Witches Market filled with unique traders, artisans, creators, healers, readers, and practitioners Whether you are a seasoned practitioner, curious newcomer, market enthusiast, or simply someone seeking connection with like-minded people, there will be something here for you. For stallholders, this is a chance to be part of a dedicated community gathering where attendees aren't simply passing through for a few hours. They'll be staying, participating, learning, celebrating, and exploring throughout the weekend, creating a wonderful opportunity to connect with customers who genuinely appreciate what you offer. For attendees, it's a chance to experience the gathering many of us hoped Beltane would become. A place to reconnect with old friends, make new ones, learn from skilled presenters, enjoy entertainment, participate in meaningful ritual, and celebrate the turning of the Wheel together. After the disappointment of losing Beltane, let's come together and create something beautiful. Bring your tent, your caravan, your market stall, your drum, your laughter, your stories, your knowledge, and your community spirit. Let's make the Summer Solstice Gathering a weekend to remember. Stallholder applications and attendee tickets are now open. Come for the gathering, come for the market, or better yet, come for both. 🌿☀️🔮✨
