     Dr Simon Thurley, Chief Executive of English Heritage, said: "We are very pleased to be welcoming people to Stonehenge to celebrate the summer Solstice again this year. This builds on the considerable success of the celebrations in previous years. Summer Solstice is a special time which means different things to different people. We want everyone who comes to be able to enjoy the occasion safely and peacefully. This year we are giving more access in daylight hours which will be far safer, and more family friendly, than the all-night access we have had in the past. We have set Conditions of Entry which apply throughout the year and are in  accordance with English Heritage's duty of care to members of the public and to Stonehenge and its surrounding monuments. Observance of the entry conditions is essential if we are to access over the Solstice in future years."
