British people continue to be drawn to Stonehenge to celebrate the winter solstice as they have done for thousands of years

In Brighton they have the ancient celebration of the Burning of Clocks. Started in 1994. [image deleted]

I was just reading that it's gridlocked with traffic at the moment. Kind of ironic that an ancient tradition is fucked up by a modern one 😂

In all seriousness, I think there's a bit of a race memory thing going on here. Maybe on the surface it's for fun and laughs, but on a deeper level the people are drawn by something that's in the DNA. Something that was very important to their ancestors in a dim distant past.

Not often I’m keen on doing anything with a crowd, but I’d do that! 😄

Looks fun

There is a replica in Goldendale, WA but I don’t think they have ceremonies there.
