The longest day of the year seems simple in its concept: it is the day with the greatest number of daylight hours between sunrise and sunset. However, it is what those signify for people, and how they use them, that explain why the summer solstice isn’t just a day that’s longer than the rest.
In the UK, the epicentre of the summer solstice celebrations is Stonehenge. With its ancient origins and unknowable functions, the circular collection of manhandled boulders evokes mystery, magic, mythology and so much more. Druids and other groups travel to find a spiritual presence there, while tourists and revellers come from all over the world to see a British landmark.
