Brú Na Bóinne Archaeological Park

Enter the annual Solstice lottery for a place in the chamber of Newgrange on the winter solstice 21 December.

Visit Newgrange on the Winter Solstice in order to witness the rising sun alignment weather permitting. Access to the site is allowed, but only winners of the annual solstice lottery and other guests are allowed access to the chamber.

Visit Dowth on the Winter Solstice in order to witness the setting sun alignment weather permitting. No lottery applies - usually the assembled people take turns inside the chamber.
