Stonehenge opens for a special dawn gathering on the winter solstice, allowing visitors, druids, and pagans to mark the shortest day of the year amid the iconic stone circle. Access is managed by English Heritage, with free open access around sunrise and crowd controls similar to the better-known summer solstice sunrise event.
