Held within the Durant Hall complex, (Unitarian Church) at Ellison Place, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 8XG. Durant Hall is behind Northumbria University in the city centre, and a 10-minute (approx) walk from the Haymarket Metro. There is a car park (ticketed) just behind the building, (free for Blue badge holders) and limited disabled parking at the front of Durant Hall.

Durant Hall has been chosen as it is disabled friendly, Pagan friendly (The Manager, is Pagan himself) and is affordable. The dates have been chosen to be the nearest Friday to the festivals, to allow those who also celebrate with their own groups or families to be able to attend and also to avoid clashes with other events people may want to go to, such as Beltane at Thornborough, Pendle Witchcamp, & Oakleaf Camp

There will be a small charge to attending of £3.50, this is to cover the hall hire, ritual essentials such as wine, cakes, any decorations used, candles and incense, and also refreshments such as tea, coffee and biscuits. Upfront funding of these events is from the North East Pagan Fellowship. There is no charge for accompanied children under 16 years of age.

The dress code is informal, some people like to dress up, other's wear ordinary clothing. Whatever you choose you will not be out of place! Accompanied children are welcome.

Now these are your Open Rituals, a celebration of the Festivals for all of us to get together in comfort and privacy. Whether you wish to be a passive participant or an active member of the ritual itself. The rituals are lead by people from a variety of Pagan paths, Northern Tradition, Druid, Khemetic, Wiccan or whatever path you follow, so there is something for everybody, and gives an opportunity for those who follow another path or indeed no specific path or tradition, to experience something different.

All are welcome, that come in a spirit of friendship and openness :-)
