Summer Solstice Sunset – 20^th or 21^st June, 7:30pm-10:30pm

Gather with us at Navan Centre & Fort for a soulful celebration of the Summer Solstice—an evening of meditation and mindfulness woven into the landscape's ancient rhythms. As the sun sets on the longest day, we’ll come together to honour the turning of the seasons and deepen our connection to this sacred place and to one another.

This is a time to remember our roots in the land, to feel the presence of those who once gathered here, and to awaken your Celtic spirit. Let the energy of this powerful site guide you into a shared space of renewal, presence, and community. Feel the presence of those who honoured the turning of the seasons here long before us and awaken your own sense of belonging to this land and moment.

The evening is guided by Carolyn Cairns, one of Navan’s experienced tour guides, who brings deep knowledge and heartfelt connection to the stories, spirit, and landscape of Emain Macha.

Admission price includes a light seasonal salad, with accompanying live music. Pre-booking is essential.
