Shab E Yalda: Winter Solstice

πŸ”₯ Winter Solstice Celebration β€” From Firewalking to Fire Jumping

Honouring a 3,000-year-old Zoroastrian tradition

As the longest night of the year approaches, we’re embracing an ancient ritual that has warmed and inspired communities for millennia. This Winter Solstice, we celebrate a beautiful Zoroastrian tradition that goes back approximately 3,000 years: the symbolic purification and renewal of the spirit through fire.

As the night unfolds, immerse yourself in an enchanting fusion of liquid drum and bass, Persian melodies, and Middle Eastern groovesβ€”a sonic journey that flows as smoothly as our finest artisan beers. Expect vibrant energy, great company, and an unforgettable night filled with music, fire-jumping, mysticism, and warmth as we welcome the return of longer days.
