The National Trust has announced that there will be no extended or overnight opening hours of any of its facilities at Avebury over the summer solstice weekend (June 19 to 21). The trust says it has consulted widely with its partners, including the local community, Wiltshire Police and Wiltshire Council and joins them in asking people not to visit Avebury and the surrounding areas for Solstice celebrations. This is in line with current government guidelines and to protect the local community from the impact of large gatherings of people.
