The perfect blend of nature, myth and mindful exploration
Join us for a magical day exploring the mystical heart of Somerset. We’ll begin our journey in the centre of Glastonbury, setting off on a scenic walk up the iconic Glastonbury Tor, where you'll be rewarded with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside and a moment to soak in the spiritual energy of this ancient site.
After descending the Tor, there will be time to wander through Glastonbury’s unique town centre, with its eclectic mix of shops and spiritual landmarks. Get your aura read, choose a new oracle card deck, sip from the Red and White Springs and visit the Temple, peruse a local bookshop - the choice is yours!
We’ll enjoy lunch together at a local eatery, before driving to Ham Wall Nature Reserve—a haven for wildlife and the location of the starling murmurations. From the car park, we’ll walk approximately 30 minutes to the viewing point, arriving in time to witness the murmurations as thousands of starlings dance and swoop across the sky to roost at sunset.
Ticket Price: £20 per adult includes guided walk and homemade light refreshments at both locations.
Things to note:
Murmurations usually begin about an hour before sunset, though earlier starts are common on cloudy days. We’ll aim to be there by 3:00 to 3:30 pm. Dress warmly as it will get chilly as wait for the murmurations to appear.
Any final details will be shared via a WhatsApp group the week before.
