At Samhain Pagans celebrate the harvest while looking death in the eye. This public ritual provides an opportunity for people to come together and take stock of the year that was. Samhain is the time to commemorate our dead and reflect on our own mortality. All that falls shall rise again and Samhain is also a beginning. A fresh page.

This annual event was born on the Commons in 1997 and has always been open to the public. The ritual is designed to be inclusive and safe and provides a doorway into modern paganism for the curious newcomer.

The event is also designed to strengthen the local Pagan community. Drumming, dancing and chanting together in ritual removes barriers and builds bridges between us. This makes for a stronger community.

If you are curious about modern Paganism I invite you to participate or observe. If you are a regular participant I look forward to celebrating Samhain with you again. If you are a local Pagan but have not attended I encourage you to join us. Reconnect with old friends. Make new ones.

The Samhain Sabbat Ritual will take approximately two hours. It will be inclusive and active. As always it will rely heavily on your participation. Be not shy. Fear not. We shall hold your hand.

Drumming. Dancing. Chanting. Blood and Fire. The end and the beginning. Samhain.

Note event is near Willow Tree corner of Common.
Note rain date is next night same time.
