The whisky tasting experts at Kro bring their passion for the drink to the table, with its distinct tastes and rich aromas to please guests with a unique experience.

The event will entertain as well as inform with the professional whisky tastings offering an authentic flavour for the evening. When talking about the differences in tastes and smells, you will go on a sensory journey with whisky being the vehicle to take you there.

Whisky tastings are great for groups and a wonderful way to make some new Manchester friends. You will be sat on a table with the rest of your team who you will get to know throughout the course of the evening.

Do you know a little or a lot about whisky? Or even, how much do you really know about yourself? Oh, I don’t mean to get personal. What I mean is, how good are you at evaluating what your senses are laying out on the table for you? Well, now is your chance to find out.

The night begins with an introduction on nosing and tasting the whiskies, along with a description of the available whiskies. You will then be free to nose and taste each of the whiskies with instructions from our whisky experts.

Be aware, however, that whisky tasting should be treated as a very different experience than wine tasting. Whisky is a powerful drink. It is wonderful at its best, lethal at its worst. If you choose to drink neat vodka, you should know what you’re in for. Tonight, however, we will be sampling various whiskies wit their earthy, dulcet and honeyed flavours in a Manchester social event sure to warm the cockles of your heart. So join Social Circle tomorrow night for a great blend of whisky and socialising.

you have the chance to see the dancers, celebrities and all, live at the Manchester Evening News Arena. It must be proving popular as this is the fifth year when the show has been taken on the road. So come along and see the amazing costumes, the opinionated judges, and awesome dances. Celebrities include former soap stars Anita Dobson and Jason Donovan, and footballer, Robbie Savage. If you love dancing, if you love celebrities, and you love controversy, then this is the ideal event for you.

You’re bound to be among like-minded people and will have plenty to talk about afterwards should you wish to enjoy a post-event drink. There aren’t many opportunities, once a year in fact, to catch this show live and where you can make some great new friends to boot, so book your place now while you still can. If you’re usually hell bent on spending Saturday nights alone then this is a great event to start your Social Circle journey with as it will offer something very familiar. But you will probably find that you’re sick of being stuck in the box every weekend. So come and join us for a great night out next Tuesday and you can pretend that it’s Saturday night.

The Peak District have numerous areas which offer a wonderful experience to the country walker. With their amazing views, their unique gritstone ‘edges, crystal clear rivers, and strolls along gentle limestone dales, they make for a stunning environment.

There is only one more national park in the world that is more visited than this one. It receives somewhere within the region of 30,000,000 visits each and every year. Part of this reason is its accessibility as close to a third of the UK can be there within an hour from leaving their home so most of the visits are day trips. At the South end of the Pennines, there are approximately 550 square miles of countryside and small towns. Most of the park is in Derbyshire but it also extends to Cheshire and Staffordshire.

Come and join us on Sunday for a challenging walk to Chrome Hill. Our walks always allow members to get to know each other, with plenty of time for conversation along the way. And we usually stop off for lunch afterwards where we enjoy a Sunday roast and a drink or two. The walk will be around 10 miles and will last about four to five hours.

Our wine tasting events are among our most popular, not just for obvious reasons, but they tend to be among our more social and more fun. Enjoy some wine education from our expert in a friendly, informal, and informative style. He will engage you with his passion for wine and pass on knowledge no matter what your level.

You’ll get a sense of how it feels to be able to just get the aura of a glass of wine and know how the wine was made, where it originated, and whether or not you should be drinking it now or leaving it to mature for a while. You will also feel more confident when buying wine from a shop or ordering it in a restaurant. The techniques you will learn will give you that sense of confidence.

However, as it is a Social Circle event, the focus will be mainly on fun, of course. You’ll team up with some fellow Social Circlers, allowing you to get to know each other and join forces against the other teams.

So if you enjoy sipping, and even better, drinking wine, book your place quickly on one of our more popular events this Friday, whilst you still can.
