Summer Solstice

Sunday 21st June 2026 is Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year! We have an exciting weekend of midsummer celebrations planned at Crawick Multiverse and we hope you will join us for some, or all, of our programmed activities on Saturday 20th and/or Sunday 21st June 2026.

Saturday 20th June: SOLSTICE STOPOVER AND SUNSET SESSION:

SOLSTICE STOPOVER: 4pm Saturday to 4pm Sunday 

Stay the night in your motorhome on Saturday 20th June and enjoy the Summer Solstice at Crawick Multiverse. For only £10 per van and the cost of a Solstice Day Pass per person, you will have access to the site from 4pm on Saturday to 4pm on Sunday and a rare* opportunity to park up on site next to Andromeda and The Milky Way! As our guest for the night you are also welcome to enjoy our Sunset Session at no additional cost (see details below). You will also wake up to experience the Solstice Sunrise and enjoy our Sunrise Celebrations including musical performances, wellbeing sessions and time to tour the site.

Motorhome spaces are limited, so please book early. Please note Solstice Day Passes must be purchased along with booking a Solstice Stopover.

*Motorhome bays are routinely available for stopovers in the car park at Crawick Multiverse from March to October for £10 per night, but this is a rare opportunity to park next to the landforms on the multiverse site (Saturday 20th June 2026). Motorhome stays are also possible in the car park as part of our usual Aires arrangement (limited to 5 spaces at £10 per night) subject to availability.

SUNSET SESSION: 6pm – Sunset

Purchase a Sunset Session ticket for only £8.50 per person* and enjoy an evening of relaxing campfire music (programmed by Up Yer Airts) in the Sun Amphitheatre at Crawick Multiverse from 6pm until sunset on Saturday 20th June 2026.  If you sing or play an instrument there will be an opportunity to join in! The Sunset Session is open to the public and to those staying over in a motorhome. Programme includes: Zoe Bestel, Sunshine and The Silver Seams, The Bookshop Band and Mikey Kenney.
