A local group of Druids is looking for a location to hold their annual winter solstice ceremony. The ideal location would be outdoors, reasonably away from homes and curious onlookers, allow either a bonfire or use of a covered portable fire pit, and large enough to accommodate a group of about 30. The celebration is held at night, roughly 7 pm, and would last 1-2 hours.

Looking for something in either Raleigh (preferably) or Durham.

Any ideas, y'all?

It doesn't fit all of your stated criteria quite perfectly, but how about Hayes Barton Baptist Church? That oughtta be interesting, for all involved.

William B Umstead State Park has facilities that would work well for what you describe.

I would look at a state park, however, unless you are camping the park usually closes early.

+1 for this.
I've not done this, but it seems like you could: Have at least one person go down there and get a camping spot, so you have the group there late.
Make sure you check the fire regulations. Some let you use their fire-pit.

Also, check out Jordan Lake State Park

You could check with Snipes Farm Retreat and see if you could use their property for it. It's more Chapel Hill than Raleigh or Durham but it's a doable drive.

Would be a nice locale this time of the year, especially with the cold nights here. But I have to imagine the airfare would be cost prohibitive don't you think?

Re Hayes Barton - pretty sure the Baptists wouldn't go for that. But what about the grounds of one of the universal Unitarian churches? I'm fairly certain they're Druid-friendly. Maybe even one of your members attends one and could ask? My only other idea is someone's backyard. I'd let you use mine if it was big enough.
