Thanks Lucya for the really useful roundup. I'd also add the virtual solstice events at Avebury Glastonbury xx
as in 'Avebury and Glastonbury'
Yes, I mainly concentrate on London events, as that's where I live. There's so much going on in Glastonbury though - not sure I have time to list everything happening there and I understand the area has its own listing publication. I'll try to list a few more things on my blog in future though
