UNITED KINGDOM ā Modern celebrants have been convening at the ancient site of Stonehenge in Wiltshire for many years now: revivalist Druids of the early 20th century, hippies of the 1960s and 70s, New Age travelers and political activists, and modern Pagans have all gathered at the summer and winter solstices to hold free music festivals, conduct rituals, hold raves, and simply acknowledge the turning points of the year.

These include theĀ Restoration Trust,Ā theĀ Richmond Fellowship,Ā English Heritage, andĀ Bournemouth University.
