The weekend of Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd June 2025 marks the Summer Solstice. The day is at its longest and summer begins. The Bee Friendly Trust joins with White Cliffs Countryside Partnership at Samphire Hoe to celebrate the solstice with a cornucopia of micro creativity across the Hoe. All the work will be inspired by the extraordinary variety of pollinators and pollinated to be found at the Hoe – from bees and butterflies to rare orchids.

Come celebrate the Summer Solstice with us!

We are excited to announce a new event for the summer, held at the atmospheric and inspiring Samphire Hoe countryside park (pictured).

Set across 30 hectares, this nature reserve will provide a stunning backdrop to two days of artist-led Summer Solstice activities.

A line-up of artists that includes Sarah Ainslie, Steve Chapman and Beth Bayliss will lead workshops in photography, painting and poetry. Plus join USA-based performer Nicolàs Dumit Estévez on a pollinating pilgrimage around this unique site. Our own Dr Luke Dixon will be sharing his passion for bees. Collaborative artworks that respect and celebrate the environmental world will be created. Friendships formed.
