Solstice Weekend '08
20th & 21st June.
Tom Watton tells all...
Friday 20th June
The Solstice Jam-Night......
with your host Tony Turner in the
Hayburn Wyke pub. Bring your
instrument and a good singing voice
or a set of appreciative ears. It’s the
actual Solstice, so if you’re
stopping, find a spot with the crowd
or a romantic viewpoint to watch
the sun rise over the North Sea
horizon, after the jamming of
course.
If you can’t stay up that late or want
to be up for an early morning stroll
it doesn’t matter, Friday is free!
The evening will start at 8pm, but
the pub will be open all day, and
you can pitch your tent from
midday. The pub is offering an
extensive menu and so you will be
able to wine dine and sing to your
hearts delight.
Saturday 21st June

bands and artists, with great food
and great ale!

...BUT that’s not all! The music is

atmosphere, the food, and the
merrymaking. There will be drum
circles, painting activities and an
array of beautiful art installations
around the site. The pub will be
selling food/drinks for the festival
arena (pub and stage areas) so
please be polite and don’t bring
your own food/drinks to eat in these
areas.
Sunday 22nd June
The pub & car park are open as

distributed for people to bin their
sins. On a serious note this is an
area of absolute beauty so please
wherever you go pick up your
rubbish and your dogs ‘doings’.
