ADDITIONAL TOURS/EVENTS
In addition to our lecture programme we have a number of extra curricular workshops/events that you can book onto to complete your Summer Lectures experience. All our extras have limited places, so please book early to ensure you get a place on the workshop/event of your choice.
1. Night-time Crop Circle Vigil - 1.00am - 6.00am
Night watching: Sleeping, Dreaming, Discerning and Discussing a Mystery Many strange things have been seen and experienced in the Pewsey Vale, around the fields and crop circles at night. The whole place takes on a different ambience when the sun sets. Crop Circles most often appear at night between darkness and sunrise and many researchers have at some point taken part in night-time vigils overlooking the fields. Spend the night out in the open at a special location in the Wiltshire countryside overlooking the enigmatic Pewsey Vale as part of a night-time vigil with a small group of like-minded companions. Also explore dream, consciousness and ritual landscape components of the crop circle phenomenon. With an indoor debrief at 5.00am complete with hot coffee and tea before getting some well-earned Sleep! Your guides will be Jonathan DeVierville and Ross Holcomb Strictly limited to 20 places.

2. Crop Circle Coach Tour - 9.00am - 12.30pm
There can be no substitute for actually visiting the crop circles firsthand; to experience their enigmatic spaces and to spend time discerning how the circles affect you and your emotions can be a truly rewarding experience. This is an opportunity to visit the crop circles as part of a group with an experienced researcher as your guide. A great introduction to investigating and experiencing the phenomenon first hand. Visit two crop circles; coach, guide and farmers fees included in the price. Your guide will be Dan Vidler (respected circles researcher and regular speaker at the Summer Lectures) Coach Tour - by Dan Vidler: There is nothing like taking your first step onto the laid stems from the standing crop. The place inside is like no other, and every one is different, unique and memorable. Your life may not be the same again because crop circles are a true mystery and the questions don’t go away! We will be visiting two crop circles where we will explore the features at ground level and have the chance to experience this mystifying phenomenon first hand. Walk the many pathways and explore the labyrinth of overlapping crop. Time to contemplate, meditate or investigate will enable each personal encounter with the crop circles to develop and defy expectation!
Limited 30 places. Important: |
