Woodend Summer Solstice - A Day of Light, Movement & Connection

Join us at Woodend Mill for a beautifully held Summer Solstice — a day of movement, stillness, sound and connection, set within the mill’s hidden green space.

Step out of the everyday and into something slower, more grounded, and shared. From welcoming the morning light to gently closing the day with rhythm and sound, this is an opportunity to pause, reconnect, and be part of something meaningful.

Whether you join us for a single session or spend the whole day with us, you will be part of a unique moment in a place that is being brought back to life.

All proceeds support the restoration of the historic Weaving Shed at Woodend Mill.

Spaces are limited to keep the experience intimate.

THE EXPERIENCE
We will be joined by professional practices delivering yoga, breath work, sound baths, meditation and much, more. Below is a list the people who will ensure you have the most beautiful day:

ABOUT WOODEND MILL
Woodend Mill is home to a growing community of artists, makers and independent practitioners.
This event is part of a wider effort to restore the historic Weaving Shed — transforming it into a permanent space for creativity, heritage and community activity.
By attending, you are directly supporting that vision.

Throughout the day you will experience the wonder of Woodend Mill, the place so many of us choose to base our practice. From the forest, to the river, and the hand industrial landscape to the calm green spaces, Woodend Mill is the perfect backdrop to celebrate where we live and the midsummer solstice.
