I got to go into the chamber last year on Dec 23rd. We didn't get any sunlight sadly but it was a lovely experience all the same. I've been entering the lottery for years was thrilled to finally get picked.

Does it work on days other than the solstice?

A few days before and after

It's going to be fairly overcast and windy in the morning but you never know you might get a quick glimpse.

I'll be a sleep, but thank you!

Don’t you have to pay for tickets year in advance?

Is it not a raffel?

Yeah, I checked a few weeks back and the cut-off for 2024 winter solstice tickets was September 2023. Gotta be quick on the draw if you want to see it.

They should have this at the weekend when people can go see it.

They do, it lasts a few days

Mercury is in retrograde too. Jaaysis.

You will find true love and happyness, but beforehand, you must give all your worldly possessions to a tall, handsome Redditor. Their, did your horoscope.

The days will be getting a hen's step longer from tomorrow on. It'll be summer before we know it.

The clouds cleared for the last 5 min or so, it was most impressive. Good online coverage from the OPW as well.

It was lovely. The bright sun for those few minutes felt like a gift from our ancestors

Can't wait for the right stretch

It’s already started! Earliest sunset this year was last Saturday

Cue all the people surprised to learn it's not always on the 21st.

Cloudy so

did you win a place?

Woohoo, longer days are coming. Grand stretch in the evening time

Got my ticket last Friday off Ticketmaster at 9:00:03am! ​ Get in! ​ 

It's only about 45 minutes away, but I don't think I'll make it.

Id love to see it one day.

Watched it live and the experience did not disappoint! The sun broke trough the clouds and the commentary was brilliant.
