Spring Equinox Celebration – online
Monday 24th March 2025 19:00 – 20:15
The Spring Equinox, or Ostara, is also called the Vernal Equinox and has long been celebrated as a time of renewal and rebirth. We celebrate the renewed life of the Earth that comes with the Spring. It is a solar festival, when the length of the day and the night are equal. Maybe bring some thing that epitomises spring for you, and wear bright colours if you wish.
See the facebook post or the February newsletter for full details.
