The stone circles at Stanton Drew is really worth a visit at any time of year. Go for a wander and touch some stones, check for any unusual energy or ancient vibrations, enjoy the peaceful fields before you nip off for a pint at The Druids Arms. There are 3 stone circles on the edge of the village, the biggest is The Great Circle at 113m in diameter, making it the second-largest stone circle in England, after Avebury, thought to be a casual 4000 years old. Local folklore suggests that the stones are a wedding party who were turned to stone by the devil for dancing on the sabbath, sounds like good time was had by all.
 
This Stanton Drew art print is perfect for wild dancers and stone botherers alike. Inspired by the textures and bold shapes in retro travel posters, I drew this Somerset art print in colourful overlapping layers of yellow, blue and lilac in the style of screenprinting or risoprinting. Simple shapes capture the long summer evening shadows and unique shape of each stone.
 
The vintage poster-inspired print with text reads "down by the river, join us at midsummer, to dance about the stones, Stanton Drew, Chew Valley, Somerset".
The bold landscape print without text is a simple, bold landscape that makes a standing stone statement!
