A weaving of love, performance, ritual and community.

Winter is the time when life is dormant, when seeds slumber in the ground and animals hibernate, when days are short and nights long and darkness cloaks the land. At Solstice we will come together to celebrate the return of the light and to rejoice in the coming of the warmth of Spring. We bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, giving thanks for community, country and connection.

Be transported back in time as we gather to witness couples declare their love and commitment with an ancient Celtic Handfasting Ritual. You are also invited to join in with your beloved if you feel inspired to do so (handfasting cords provided).
Local performers will come together to present a program of fun, frivolity, hijinks and harmonies. Experience the thrill of aerial performance, the passion of musical rhythms and the fun of the physical theatre.

The Carrington Love Stage is the beating heart of the Winter Magic Festival.
