Autumn Equinox
This year Autumn Equinox will be celebrated on Sunday 22nd September 2024.
English Heritage is pleased to provide free Managed Open Access to Stonehenge Autumn Equinox. We ask that if you are planning to join us for this peaceful and special occasion that you read the Conditions of Entry and the information provided below before deciding whether to come.
Entry to the monument will begin between 05:45 – 06.15 hours (or when it is light enough to safely enter) on Sunday 22nd September.
The Stonehenge car park will open at 05:15am. All vehicles must vacate the car parks by 11am.
Stonehenge is a significant World Heritage Site and to many it is sacred – please respect the stones and all those who are attending.
