December in Smock Alley

Witness a dawn spectacle engineered over 5,000 years ago by spending a morning at the Winter Solstice at Newgrange. The Winter Solstice takes place on December 21 each year but Newgrange is open for visitors to witness the beautiful dawn experience from December 18 – 23. On clear solstice mornings the chamber at the end of the passage is fully illuminated and bathed in a golden glow. Visitors gathered outside the monument will witness the dawn as Newgrange’s Neolithic builders saw it thousands of years ago.
