Magickal Events Near London & Online Over Yuletide

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


The winter solstice is on Wednesday 21 December this year. Here’s a list of pagan, witchy and magical events over that time, with a mixture of online and in-person things to do to celebrate Yuletide and deepen your knowledge of seasonal lore and the esoteric. I generally list events in the UK, especially in or near London, but some are outside that time zone. If you know an online or London-based event you want included, please email [email protected]

Notes: I’m not responsible for the content of these events. I don’t always know about changes or cancellations to events I don’t run – tbc means to be confirmed. Contact event organisers directly with questions but please let me know if you are aware of something that needs correcting. I generally list things in the UK, especially in or near London, but some are outside that time zone. Where a practitioner is offering information about magical wellbeing and healing, this is *not* medical advice.
