Gorsedd of Bards of Cor Gawr - Gorsedd Beirdd Côr y Cewri

The rites at Stonehenge for the Gorsedd of Cor Gawr are led by Christine Cleere (Vixx), together with a small group of supporting priests. For any information on the Gorsedd, or contributions for the Cor Gawr pages, please visit the Gorsedd web page or subscribe to our Facebook Group. You can contact Christine here.

Dates for future Gorseddau awaiting confirmation from English Heritage are:

* Midsummer : Sunday 24th June 2012 (dawn)
* Midwinter : Sunday 16th December 2012 (dusk)
* Midsummer: Monday 24th June 2013 (dawn)
* Midwinter: Sunday 15th December 2013 OR Sunday 22nd Deecember 2013 (dusk)

As the Gorsedd works on a Special Access pass, the Cor Gawr rituals are ticketed events, with a number limit of 100 people at Midsummer and, due to frequent poor ground conditions, 80 at Midwinter. The tickets are often sold out early, so do book as soon as possible. There is a maximum of 6 tickets per application.

We do ask for a small donation to help cover our costs, but keep the ticket prices as small as possible in order to allow all who wish to attend the opportunity; whilst we would love to make the event completely free, as we have exclusive access to the stones outside of normal opening hours we do make a contribution to English Heritage in recognition of the costs they incur to allow us entry at these times.

Everyone is asked to bring offerings to the spirits of place, bread and mead for the shared feasting (mead must be in plastic bottles as glass ones will not be permitted within the Stones), and contributions to the eisteddfod - song, music, dance, poetry - should they wish.  Please dress warmly!

Full ticketing details for our next Gorsedd will be published here shortly, and tickets for Midsummer will be available for purchase from early April.

Please remember that events organized for Stonehenge are always at risk of last minute cancellation by English Heritage (owing to any recent damage or risk of disturbance). If you are in any doubt asto whether the event is still happening, get in touch with Christine Cleere, Cor Gawr Lead Priest and Organiser via our contact form.
