MAYAN dancers will be hosting a traditional sun ceremony at the Neolithic Stonehenge monument later this month.

Mayan cultural group Hamba'kan will be performing at the stone circle as part of the Salisbury International Arts Festival on May 30 and 31 at 8pm.

The Mayan race is renowned for its astrological systems, fantastical art and ceremonial architecture.

The Ceremony of the Sun is deemed as the most important in the Mayan calendar.

The Hamba'kan group are descendants of the oldest of the Mayan tribes from the Yucatan state.
