Autumn Equinox is just around the corner and where better to celebrate this magical time of year then Loughcrew.

Autumn Equinox officially falls on the morning of the 23rd September this year.

We will be running a number of events between the 23rd - 25th which are outlined below.

Please note some events need to be booked, details of how to do so is included.

Friday 23rd September

The autumnal equinox is on September 23rd. For us in the Northern Hemisphere, autumn arrives while south of the equator, spring begins. 5000 years ago, the builders of the monument known as Cairn T at Loughcrew aligned their tomb to sunrise at the equinoxes.

The Office of Public Works will have staff on site for dawn from 7.00am on September 22nd, 23rd and 24th (Thursday, Friday and Saturday).

Cairn T remains closed but all are welcome to visit the Cairns to celebrate the beginning of Autumn.
