About the event

Celebrate the Summer Solstice by joining us for a relaxed campfire session at Lunt Meadows Nature Reserve where will be joined by Museum of Liverpool’s Honorary Curator of Prehistoric Archaeology, Ron Cowell.

During the session, Ron will talk about what life was like during the Middle Stone Age, the 9000 year old discoveries we have made at Lunt Meadows so far, and the importance of nature and the solstice to our ancestors.

While we sit around the campfire, we will listen to music, roast snacks and enjoy being in nature. Attendees can also have a go at some simple stone age crafts (suitable for all abilities) under the guidance of our staff and volunteers. Refreshments will be provided.

All proceeds go to the conservation of the beautiful habitats and wildlife at Lunt Meadows.

The terrain is gentle but uneven with areas of long grass. We will meet in the car park at 7.15pm and walk down to our education area. In the event of poor weather, we will relocate indoors to our Learning Centre and we will contact attendees in advance if we do this.

At 6pm, before the solstice event, we will also have a yoga session, suitable for all abilities. More information about this can be found here.

Please wear appropriate outdoor footwear and dress for the weather. There will be some seating available (camping chairs) but feel free to bring your own camp chair and a mug/cup (refreshments will be provided).

This event is part of Lunt Meadow’s Presenting Mesolithic and Modern Life Project, made possible with the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
