Solstice Spiral 2026
In this holy time of Advent, as we prepare to celebrate Christmas, there is opportunity to walk the St Laurence Solstice Spiral – a labyrinth of winter greenery, made from evergreen boughs, laid out on the ground,  Everyone is invited to walk the labyrinth, and to light their own candle from the central flame. Nearby an accessible pathway will be available for people with mobility issues.
The atmosphere is of quiet and contemplative, with gentle live music provided by community musicians.

Come walk the evergreen Spiral in Silence and Stillness, and open to the return of the Light.

Please refrain from conversation.

Donations of £5 per adult are encouraged to cover costs. No need to book, everyone welcome.
