As the Gorsedd works on a Special Access pass, the
Cor Gawr rituals are ticketed events, with a number limit of 100
people. The tickets are often sold out up to a month before the date,
so do book early. There is a maximum of 6 tickets per application. We
ask for £2 per person, please, to cover our admin costs. Please send
stamped addressed envelope or IRCs (see below for address). If you have
booked multiple tickets, please include the names of everyone you have
booked tickets for in your request. Please note that tickets must be
paid for in advance, and cannot be picked up at the site. They must be
brought with you to the Gorsedd as they contain a pass for the car park
without which you will not be admitted. Please make cheques payable to
'The Druid Network'.
Any excess funds from the rites go to TDN tree planting projects.
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 should they wish. Please dress
warmly!
If your have any photos of one of the Gorseddau, or poetry, or anything that would contribute to a review page, please send to Christine Cleere.
