Imbolc Full Moon Night Walk — Avebury, Wiltshire

This year, February’s full moon, also known as the Snow Moon, lands on the same day as the Celtic celebration of Imbolc.

Imbolc marks the first stirring of life beneath the surface, a quiet but potent turning point in the year. Though winter still holds the land, sap is beginning to rise and bulbs are pushing through the soil. In our personal lives, “now is the time to prepare inwardly for changes that will come. Plant your ideas and leave then to germinate.” Glennie Kindred

Mark the occasion with a magical night walk around Avebury, Wiltshire. We’ll gather to watch the sunset before setting off on a mindful, moonlit walk through this ancient, spiritual landscape. This guided experience offers a chance to connect with nature, reflect quietly, and enjoy the energy of the full moon. Perfect for anyone seeking mindful walking, gentle adventure, and a sense of ritual in the outdoors.
