Calling all Heathens!
Wiccid and Gray Witch Supply Company have co-created a festival to celebrate the Winter Solstice:
Winters Deep – A Gathering of Heathens
Saturday June 20thÂ
Gates Open 9.30am
This festival is a journey back in time to connect with the olde ways through our Pagan Ancestors. There will be a Winter Solstice Ritual, Crafting Activities for adults and children, Feasting, Workshops, Talks, Highland Games, Readers, Labyrinth, Drumming and a handful of specially selected Market stalls where you’ll be able to stock up on your magickal supplies.
This special gathering has been paired back to what’s important, to what this sacred day and time is really about – living in tune with the seasons – the energy of Winter, honouring Mother Earth, community, inclusiveness, freedom, creation and of course – magick.
Come along for a little while, a long while or the whoooole day. Enjoy some of the free entertainment, bring the family and set up a picnic under the trees, indulge in some craft activities, attend our workshops, get a reading, peruse the market stalls and stock up on your magickal supplies, participate in the Highland Games and help your team win, listen to some free talks and learn a thing or two, connect with like minded people, gather around the bonfire and honour Mother Goddess & Father God in ritual.
Create your own festival experience – just select which ticket and activities you’d like to participate in – add them to your cart.

Set in a stunning location just outside Gympie QLD with grassy areas, big trees and a gorgeous dam covered in water lilies, there’s plenty of space to spread out and enjoy Nature.
The whole festival will be rustic and as authentic to ancient/modern pagan as possible, so it will have an overall medieval vibe with no electricity or mod cons unless needed structurally (lighting for example). There will be communal meeting spaces for eating, workshops and ritual with plenty of space to just relax.

If camping you need to bring your own gear. We provide port a loos/shower + water for drinking.
