This is an appeal has been created by Rollo Maughfling Arch-Druid of Stonehenge. It is to fund the cost of the illuminated acoustic stage at the Managed Open Access at Stonehenge.

The stage creates an illuminated focal point of unamplified acoustic music away from the Sacred Stones and the associated coconut matting provides an area for rest. This stage has been used successfully at the Summer Solstice but needs proper funding. The donations will go directly to fund the stage. Spending the whole Summer Solstice night at Stonehenge has been a very special experience for thousands of years and for hundreds of thousands of people in the 21st Century.

The uniqueness of the Stones and site is blessed by the offerings of the remarkable people who come and share. Over recent years, the Acoustic Performance Platform has become another place to listen, sing and dance with some great performers. Until 2018 years, this has been made possible by one individual donor covering the transport of stage and equipment, setting up, then taking down and insurance costs.

In 2019 we asked for your help and you gave it. Thank You! THAT WAS TRULY WONDERFUL.

In 2020 & 2021 due to the UK Government’s ‘Lock-Down’ rules and to everyone’s disappointment there were no Open Accesses in either of these two years.

The 2022 Managed Open Access of Stonehenge will happen from 7:00 pm on Monday 20th June 2022 until 8:00 am on Tuesday 21st June 2022 so we know that everyone is now looking looked forward to Dave Sanger's Stage being an essential part of the Summer Solstice Celebrations this year – 2002.

Thank You to those who have already donated. That is FANTASTIC and means we will need an additional £840 to reach our target of £1,100 for this year, which will cover all the infrastructure and the crucial Public Liability Insurance required by English Heritage for Dave Sanger to be able to bring his stage to Stonehenge.

This appeal and help us continue to spread the joy of celebration ever wider across Stonehenge field, with any balance to be carried forward to subsequent years' Summer Solstice.
