Jarrow Hall hosting Midsummer weekend to celebrate the summer solstice
The summer solstice is coming up and a South Tyneside attraction is offering families a two day celebration.
The longest day of the year is approaching and Jarrow Hall is preparing for a big weekend to celebrate.
Happening on Sunday, June 21, the solstice marks the day of the year when we see the longest amount of daylight and is a key feature of many historic religions.
To celebrate, South Tyneside attraction Jarrow Hall is hosting a midsummer weekend featuring family activities.
Free with an annual pass to the site, the weekend will see farm school sessions take place as well as craft and activity offerings.
Families can also learn about the history of midsummer and the ancient traditions which are associated with the day while watching - and maybe taking part in - maypole dancing showcases.
The weekend of activities will run throughout the weekend, while the farm school will be available between 10am and 12 noon across the two days.
