What is Social Circle?

We're a social and activity members group in Manchester that facilitates friendships, fun and adventure.

We organise a series of events each month that our members can book onto. When our guests arrive, we make the introductions and the fun looks after itself. Our members are professionals in their 30s, 40s and 50s who love life and want to live it to the full.

Isn't it time you upgraded your social life?

Why should I join?

Friendship, community and adventure.

Are you one of the thousands of people who has felt a bit isolated during lockdown? Are you feeling restless and impatient for your old life to kickstart? If you are craving more adventure on your weekend, then Social Circle is for you. The benefits of social activities and new friendships on your mental health, physical wellbeing and all-round joie de vivre are huge. There are friends, there is family, and then there are friends that become family. Joining Social Circle and getting your mojo back might be the smartest move you make this year.

How do we work? It's simple:

We do the organising and introductions. You turn up and have fun.

Book online from our events calendar

Members get to select their events from an enviable events calendar filled each month with nights out and weekend adventure. Some of our most popular events include meals out at some of Manchester's top restaurants, comedy nights, fitness classes, hiking and kayaking.

There's something for everyone.

We make the introductions

When you arrive at one of our events, you'll be introduced by a Social Circle host to like-minded people who also want to grow their social circle and inject some fun into their lives.

Is Social Circle for you?

Our members are 30-50 year old professionals

Our members range from their early 30s to late 50s, with the average age being 42. Most are single, working professionals and live within an 8 mile radius of the city.

Why they joined?

We've seen a recent spike in members that have felt restless and lonely in lockdown. Social Circle is just the pick me up they need. Traditionally many of our members join because they are new to the city, others have recently separated and some have become isolated now that they work from home. Some are just outgoing people that love meeting new people. If you have any concerns about joining, get in touch with us today.

Michelle

41, Didsbury

Hi, I'm Michelle. I've been a member of Social Circle for two years. It's been a lifeline for me. When I got divorced I lost a lot of my friendship network, and suddenly found myself feeling lonely. I used to dread weekends. A friend encouraged me to join Social Circle and I can honestly say it's one of the best decisions I've made. It's much less intimidating than dating and I now have new friends for life.

Derick

52, Chorlton

A year ago I was made redundant and I now work from home. I live by myself and I often miss conversation and interaction. I tried a few professional networking groups but I found them a bit boring. When I read about Social Circle I did worry initially that members might all be party animals in their twenties, but once I eventually plucked up the courage to go to one of the free wine tasting events I found lots of likeminded people. I go to a Social Circle event at least once per week and really look forward to them.

Gemma

33, City Centre

I moved up from London four years ago for a new job. I didn't know Manchester very well and really struggled to meet new people. I forced myself to try loads of new activities but didn't really make any new friends. When I discovered Social Circle everything changed. I'm busy every weekend now. I love all of the outdoor activities and have learned to kayak and mountain bike. I've made brilliant friends and I met my current boyfriend through a Social Circle holiday too. Even though we're in a relationship now we still go to Social Circle events all of the time. There's always new people to meet and something new to sign up for.

We take health and safety seriously

Your health and safety is top of our agenda

We have had to evolve and adapt following COVID-19, and our top priority is now keeping our members safe. We regularly review the latest government restrictions and guidance to ensure that all of our events comply with regulations. Our events calendar is now populated with an increased number of outdoor activities that enable social distancing, so you can feel safe. Rest assured that even in a ‘high' COVID area that exercise classes and organised sport can still take place outdoors, and that there are no restrictions on the number of people taking part. This rule is supported by Sport England and the British Medical Council. You can read the government's guidance on this here. We're also partnering with venues that we know have robust risk assessments and safety procedures for all guests.
