Watch the winter solstice sunrise at Newgrange 

The event will be live-streamed from within the Chamber on December 21 and 22.

The Office of Public Works is live-streaming the Solstice Sunrise event at Newgrange.

The traditional gathering for the Winter Solstice at the Neolithic Passage Tomb on December 21 was cancelled this year due to Covid-19 pandemics.

However, people who wish to see the Solstice Sunrise are able to see it online.

The event is being live-streamed from within the Chamber on December 21 and 22 by the OPW.

The body said: “everyone will be able to experience this wonderful phenomenon from any location around the world”.

It is available on the OPW YouTube page.

The public has been urged not to travel to Newgrange to prevent large gatherings.

The OPW said that access to the site will not be facilitated.

Newgrange, located in Co Meath, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and it was built around 3200BC.
