There’s something truly special about Midsummer in the UK. The Summer Solstice, which falls on 21 June, marks the longest day of the year—a time when the sun climbs to its highest point in the sky and daylight lingers late into the evening. Just a few days later, on 24 June, we traditionally celebrate Midsummer’s Day—a festival of light, warmth, and the joy of high summer.
For centuries, people have welcomed this time of year with festivals, feasts, dancing, and bonfires. From ancient celebrations at Stonehenge to garden parties and lazy pub evenings in the modern day, this season is all about slowing down, soaking up the sunshine, and making the most of the long, golden days.
There’s a unique energy in the air—sunshine feels sweeter, colours seem brighter, and there’s a sense of openness and optimism that only summer can bring.
Whether you’re marking the solstice with a sunrise walk, a gathering with friends, or simply by enjoying a glass of something chilled in the garden, it’s a time to reconnect—with nature, with yourself, and with a sense of lightness.
And of course, when the sun is out, many of us feel that extra little lift when we’ve got a warm, healthy glow to match the season. That’s where Wild About Tan comes in—bringing the sunshine to your skin, without the UV. To look for an appointment in your area – click here
