What our members said:
I Recently attended one of the many social circle events  that social circle organise - which happened to be a long weekend staying with a group of 9 initial ‘strangers’ in Edinburgh, for the fringe festival.
I Have to say I haven’t laughed as much in ages nor have I met a group of more genuinely easy going and fun, interesting people…from the off I was made to feel welcome and part of the group (most were fully paid up members) even though I was the interloper and non member. Too many top moments to mention but one of them has to be Steve taking on the Sting main act at a local show and holding court singing Roxanne with deafening pitch and a hilariously funny and energetic dance routine which had the house in hysterics - a show not to missed at any cost! Will definitely be there again next year!
If you’re looking to make new friends, improve your social life and benefit from exciting and new experiences then this is your chance - don’t over think it, just do it, you won’t regret it.

Trip: Summer Solstice At Stonehenge

https://www.social-circle.co.uk/event/19840/Summer-Solstice-at-Stonehenge/

Steve drove from Manchester where we experienced Walking in the footsteps of your Neolithic ancestors at Stonehenge – one of the wonders of the world and the best-known prehistoric monument in Europe. We were there for sunset and the infamous summer solstice. Memorable bits: people watching, absorbing the atmosphere. It is one of the very few times in the year that you are allowed to go right up to the stones. They felt solid.
One ticked off the bucket list - we'll do it again next year if anyone is up for it - definitely a unique experience.
With Steve driving it was like having our very own chauffeur, definitely one for 2024.

What our members said:
Stonehenge was on my bucket list, and I couldn't have asked for a better way to experience it. Steve's arrangements made it so hassle-free, so I could focus on enjoying the journey and truly magical atmosphere. Definitely a must-do with the social circle gang!
