The Wheel of the Year turns once more and we find ourselves at Summer Solstice. Come and join us as we give gratitude to the Sun for all that the Sun provides us as we approach the longest day. 

With meditation and reflective moments with Mima Cornish of HedgeRose Healing, and immersive circle dancing from Myrriadd Dance, we will share this wonderful evening of celebration together. 

Using a negative painting technique we will create a decorative background using acrylic paints. Once the background is dry we will paint around an image on top of this decorative background to define, add depth and contrast to create the final negative painted artwork. A wonderful exciting way to use acrylic paint and create a beautiful piece of art to take home. 

Led by artist Juliet Staines. 

Pre-booking essential. 

In partnership with Heathfields Orchards, Norton Priory offers a practical and theory-based workshop on summer fruit tree pruning. The workshop uses the Norton Priory orchards to provide practical hands-on experience, with expert tuition and guidance. The workshops are designed to be both educational and enjoyable, making them an excellent choice for anyone looking to enhance their knowledge and skills in fruit tree care. 

Join the Norton Priory Ranger for a walk through the Museum Woodland to discover the wildlife of Norton Priory after dusk. We will be using bat detectors to help us find these nocturnal friends.

The evening will be begin with a talk on bats by Tony Parker, or fun bat craft activities for the kids.

All children must be accompanied by an adult. Please wear appropriate footwear.
