FEASTS AT WEST LEXHAM

At West Lexham we honour the Pagan tradition of marking the Celtic eight-fold wheel of the year with a celebration. The Celtic wheel celebrates significant seasonal points, allowing us to step out of our routine and re-balance ourselves in alignment with the timings of the natural world.

We will hold seasonal workshops, feasts and fire ceremonies, dancing, playing and merriment – all gently and expertly guided to aid us in relaxing resetting and re-energising.
