A special family-oriented event will allow visitors to engage with prehistoric heritage at a significant ancient monument.

The organisation responsible for maintaining the Rollright Stones is staging a Family Day at the Neolithic stone circle located close to Long Compton, a village situated on the boundary between Oxfordshire and Warwickshire.

Now in its fifth consecutive year, the gathering provides attendees with opportunities to discover one of England’s most enigmatic archaeological sites through interactive experiences and live demonstrations.

The individual overseeing operations at the monument explained that the occasion presents an ideal chance for individuals spanning all age groups to encounter the Rollright Stones from an entirely fresh angle.

Activities cater to those with interests ranging from archaeological investigation and regional mythology to natural habitats and heritage crafts, as well as anyone simply seeking outdoor entertainment.

The organisation expressed anticipation for greeting both familiar faces and newcomers alike.

Participants will be permitted to wander around the stone formations, listen to narratives rooted in antiquity, and gain insight into the legends and cultural practices associated with the monument.

A particular piece of local tradition holds that nobody who attempts to tally the stones forming the King’s Men circle has ever produced the same number twice.

Additional pursuits available on the day include dowsing techniques, astronomical education, workshops focused on traditional craftsmanship, and examination of the flora and fauna inhabiting the grounds surrounding the historic location.

The Family Day is scheduled to take place on Monday, August 31, between 11am and 5pm.

Entry fees are set at two pounds for grown-ups and one pound for younger attendees.

All contributions will support the Rollright Trust’s ongoing conservation work at the ancient stone circle and surrounding grounds.
