This Saturday sees Stonehenge's inner circle opened to the public on one of only four occasions a year, at the Spring Equinox. Around four thousand people are expected to turn up, braving the bitter British weather to celebrate at Britain's best-known ancient landmark.

Some of you, like us, may be visiting Stonehenge for this Saturday's Spring Equinox celebrations (see event listing here). Yet I suspect a fair few more of you will be sinking pints of Guinness in homage to Saint Patrick tonight, staggering home wearing a green top hat which looked oh-so-cool a few hours ago.
Spring Equinox is one of only four times all year that the public are allowed access to the stone circle of Stonehenge, in Wiltshire. The event will begin at sunrise, approximately 5am, and continue until 8.30am. Expect to be joined by up to 5,000 revellers, including Druids and archaeologists, as the sun is exactly above the equator.
