This was my first night at Social Circle - I was made to feel really welcome, and had a great time!

I've been to some small local gigs though Social Circle, and a couple of Manchester Arena gigs - all great fun.

Maggie, Social Circle member

I love trying new cuisine and chatting over food - so far I've tried Armenia, Russian, and Greek restaurants with Social Circle.

Maggie

David, Social Circle member

I've got into photography since attending a class with Social Circle - now I take my camera everywhere.

Darren, Social Circle member

Skiing in Andorra was a challenge and great fun while Nuremberg was a great place to visit for anyone who loves Christmas like I do.

Darren

Mark, Social Circle member

I used pay an absolute fortune in gym fees, but after joining Social Circle I do the fitness classes a week for free and have cancelled my gym membership.

Mark

Sharon, Social Circle member

Chester and York trips were both great fun and really well organised - where next?

Sharon

Monica, Social Circle member

I love the evenings out when everyone ends up dancing - such a fun group!

Monica

Eve, Social Circle member

I love the guided walking tours - I've learnt so much about Manchester!

Eve

Claire, Social Circle member

I tried a comedy night at the The Frog and Bucket last year, and now I go every couple of weeks - big laughs each time.

Claire

Jen, Social Circle member

Free cinema trips are why I joined Social Circle - I do loads more since joining, but still get to the cinema each week - thanks!

Jen

Emily, Social Circle member

It's great to be a member of a group that promotes local charities. The Three Peaks Challenge for Bowel Cancer UK was one I'll always remember.

Emily

Paula, Social Circle member

I love the social events but it's also great for me as a self-employed person to be able to network with other professionals at local business events. I find that Social Circle provides the best of both worlds and I've made numerous contacts since joining, both social and business.

Paula

Dawn, Social Circle member

I've really got into massages, manicures and pedicures, though Social Circle. I feel amazing. Lol!

Dawn

Derick, Social Circle member

I have made some good friends with Social Circle.

Derick

Paul, Social Circle member

You can do something different every night of the week if you want.

Paul

Keith, Social Circle member

My job makes it hard to socialise due to the hours and working away. When I am free I just book an event, or a holiday, and I am always welcome.

Keith

Sarah, Social Circle member

I feel as though I’ve been given a new lease of life and it’s all thanks to Social Circle.

Sarah

Gavin, Social Circle member

They’re the friendliest bunch on Earth.

Gavin

Sarah Louise, Social Circle member

I woke up one day and realised that I was the only one in my social group who wasn’t married with kids. I knew that I needed somewhere to escape to that didn’t make me feel like the odd one out. Thank God I came across Social Circle. You guys are life savers!

Sarah Louise

Caroline, Social Circle member

I got bored of going to the same pub each week. With Social Circle I go for meals, walks, and different pubs.

Caroline

Michelle, Social Circle member

With Social Circle I've explored Manchester's venues and attractions while meeting some fine folk along the way.

Michelle

Robert, Social Circle member

If you are looking for real connections, trustworthy people, fun and laughter, I recommend Social Circle. It is the place to be!

Robert

Angela, Social Circle member

I made friends, saved a pile of money and tried some new things - what's not to like?

Angela

Sarah, Social Circle member

I rarely stay in watching TV anymore - every day there's something to do. Thank you Social Circle!

Sarah

Neil, Social Circle member

I’ve enjoyed my membership ever since I signed up with Social Circle. Social Circle is unpretentious, friendly, warm, safe and convenient.

Neil

Kimberley, Social Circle member

I was sceptical, but decided to try the free event. I'm so glad I did!

Kimberley

Steve from Social Circle , Social Circle member

There is only one social Group renowned for creating friendship and adding a variety of experiences and activity’s for its members.

Steve from Social Circle

Kate, Social Circle member

Joining Social Circle has been the best decision I have made this year!

Kate

Sandy, Social Circle Member, Social Circle member

I never used to go out during the week - now, I am out every night doing different things with a great bunch of people

Sandy, Social Circle Member

Sam, Social Circle Member, Social Circle member

I have had the BEST time with the friends I have met though Social Circle

Sam, Social Circle Member

Will, Social Circle Member, Social Circle member

Social Circle has really helped me fill up the gap in my life after my break-up

Will, Social Circle Member

Will, Social Circle Member, Social Circle member

I was nervous before my first event, but everyone has been so welcoming and lovely, I am so glad I became a Social Circle member

Will, Social Circle Member

Graham, Didsbury, Social Circle member

I've attended some of the larger business events and have met some really interested prospects, one of whom has turned into a valuable client.
I've also expanded my knowledge in several key areas of marketing.

Graham, Didsbury

Jane, Urmston, Social Circle member

I've learned multiple new professional skills through attending events on the Social Circle calendar, such as search engine optimisation and Google Analytics: two subjects I'd been meaning to tackle for some time.

Jane, Urmston

Dave, Bury, Social Circle member

I've been to a number of networking events through Social Circle and have made valuable contacts. Not only does membership allow me to meet new people socially, but professionally, too. It's nice to get the best of both worlds.

Dave, Bury

Michael, Social Circle member

I attended a quiz night in Chorlton, a bit nervous thinking that I would be the only one not knowing any of the answers. I soon realised it wasn't Trivial Pursuit we were playing but just a bit of fun. We all had a good laugh at some of our answers and it was a great ice breaker for a bunch of people who had never met before. Fantastic night!

Michael

Anthony, Social Circle member

I had always wanted to try the Three Peaks Challenge but was never confident enough to give it a go. But as soon as I mentioned it at a Social Circle event, I was encouraged to sign up by two fellow members who were all set to embark on the adventure. I decided right there and then to go for it. It may have been all over the country but I made some new friends from Manchester for life.

Anthony

Gemma, Social Circle member

“I attended the last Social Circle sports day and wow, what fun it was. It was a great mixture of sports, some I would have expected, like rounders, and others not so much, but definitely fun! We had a great time just messing around with snacks and drinks and it was one of the funnest Social Circle events I've been too.”

Gemma

Jennifer, Social Circle member

“I went to the New Members Night for more information and ended up having a great time and have kept in touch with two people on the night. Just days later, we all became members, and I know they too really value what they have gotten out of Social Circle so far. I would recommended anyone unsure about joining to attend a New Members Night.”

Jennifer

Rob, Social Circle member

I love a decent restaurant but all I ever seemed to go to was cheap and cheerful. With Social Circle having such a variety of restaurants on their events calendar, I was able to choose from a variety of restaurants and so thought I'd give Michael Caine's a try at Abode. The food was breathtaking and it was such a pleasurable experience.

Rob

Sarah, Social Circle member

Jazz is one of my passions in life but my friends are mainly into other types of music so while I've been to Matt and Phreds a number of times, it was either by myself or a friend I had to drag along. Going with Social Circle was a completely different experience with everyone appreciating the music and having a great time.

Sarah

Jennifer, Social Circle member

I like to take care of my body and so when I saw events like aqua detox, it made an already easy decision to join even easier. I joined right there and then. There are so many perks with membership that I just can't see a reason for anyone not to join. Even if you don't intend to go to the social events, you can save money easily with Social Circle.

Jennifer

fitness_1, Social Circle member

Fitness has always been important to me and with already paying a monthly fee to my local health club, I wasn't sure that I could afford Social Circle as well. But when I saw that Social Circle membership included fitness classes, that made my decision easier. I now enjoy attending both social events and fitness classes with Social Circle and have said goodbye to my gym membership.

fitness_1

Anthony, Social Circle member

A friend of mine talked me into going to a New Members Night at the Slug and Lettuce and I'm so glad she did. What really sold it to me was the people I met. I've tried various ways of meeting new people in Manchester but Social Circle was undoubtedly the easiest and the friendliest.

Anthony

Kimberley, Social Circle member

I hadn't been dancing in years and have to admit to being a bit intimidated after a fellow Social Circle member convinced me to attend a jive class. Fortunately, it came back to me and I was able to pick it up. I also became good friends with a couple of other members of Social Circle on the night.

Kimberley

Deborah, Social Circle member

I love the amateur competition at The Frog and Bucket on Monday nights. It's cruel but fun, and as long as I'm sat nowhere near the front, I'm happy laughing along. There are some other fantastic comedy nights on, too, though. I always have a great time whomever else is at the event as everybody is there to enjoy themselves.

Deborah

Angela, Social Circle member

I absolutely love comedy nights but most of my Manchester friends seem to enjoy drinking and nothing more, and a comedy night isn't really something that you can go to on your own. But once I started to go to Social Circle events and realised that they were also up for a laugh, I knew they would be great company on a comedy night. I wasn't wrong!

Angela

Heather, Social Circle member

There are some great museums in Manchester but it's not half as much fun going on your own so it was great to see the Manchester Museum on the calendar. I hadn't been there for years and really enjoyed meeting new people while walking through the exhibits. Throw in some tasty lunch at the museum cafe and it really was a fantastic day.

Heather

Pauline, Social Circle member

I'd never been to a quiz night before but was always intrigued. The teams also seemed massive and I could never get enough people together. With Social Circle, that hassle was taken right out of my hands. We had a great laugh while somehow winning a prize. Where else can you have that much fun for £1?

Pauline

Rachael, Social Circle member

I'd always fancied going to a Turkish restaurant in town. I heard the food was great and they have some great entertainment. But it seemed manly to be for larger groups and there was no way I was going to be able to get all my friends to come along on the same night. With Social Circle, it was a case of booking my place and everything was taken care of. And what a great night it was!

Rachael

Kimberley, Social Circle member

I went along to a walk in the Peak District, having never been on a guided walk before, so was unsure as what to expect. I found that there were 10 other walkers who were some of the friendliest people I'd ever met. I was tired at the end and was glad to finally reach the pub and have a Sunday lunch. Tired or not, I've already booked on to my next one. Fantastic day!

Kimberley

Sarah, Social Circle member

I hadn't done anything for Halloween since my son was at school, so it felt a bit weird going to a Halloween party at my age. I dressed up as the witch from the Wizard of Oz and actually won best dressed prize, so it was worth going just for that. And yes, I admit, I had a really fun time. I may just make this an annual thing.

Sarah

Annette, Social Circle member

I love sampling new cocktails and with cocktail bars opening up all of the time in Manchester, I didn't want to let them go to waste. The problem is that my friends don't like going to the same kind of venues that I do. So it was great to see that Social Circle offered so much choice to cater for everyone with all kinds of tastes. I now get to go to the venues I want to.

Annette

Emma, Social Circle member

I have to admit that I've been known to take pub quizzes pretty seriously. It's my competitive side. But the guys at Social Circle loosened me up and I soon got into the spirit of things. Like all Social Circle events, the people are the ones that make it. And fortunately, here you will find some of the friendliest people you could ever hope to meet.

Emma

Rob, Social Circle member

I love a good comedy night and Social Circle always seems to pick the best venues. The Frog and Bucket never fails to be a great laugh but the smaller venues like Didsbury Cricket Club always put on a good show, too, and tend to be more intimate. It's certainly a great way to break the ice when meeting new people.

Rob

Angela, Social Circle member

I love nothing more than a good curry on a night out and Social Circle always seems to know the best places. The curry mile is great but my favourite is Akbars in Castlefield. The service was impressive but the food was even more so. And their hanging nan bread was phenomenally tasty. As usual though, the jewel of the crown was the fantastic people I met from Social Circle.

Angela

Rob, Social Circle member

I love exploring my more active side and Social Circle enables me to do just that. Since joining, I've attended such events as Go Ape and abseiling and have had such an amazing time. The best thing about it though is having fun with the people I have met here. It turns out that there are other activity nuts like me after all :)

Rob

Emma, Social Circle member

I went to see The Witches of Eastwick with Marti Pellow and had a blast. I'm a huge fan of the movie and wasn't sure what to expect but the cast put on a great show and it was just hilarious. I enjoyed a drink during the break where I got to chat properly with the other guys from Social Circle and I can't wait to see them out and about again.

Emma

Pauline, Social Circle member

I have always been an art lover and the chance to go and see some of the amazing paintings they have at Manchester Art Gallery with some new friends was too good to pass up. I may love art but I also love a glass of wine so the promise of drinks afterwards didn't hurt either. We had a really interesting chat about an exhibition we had just seen over some fine Prosecco. What a great night!

Pauline

Kimberley, Social Circle member

I love supporting new, local bands and was pleased to see opportunities to do so with Social Circle. As is the case with any Social Circle event, you always end up meeting people with the same interests as you, so that was definitely a plus. I've become really good friends with fellow music lovers and it's all thanks to SC!

Kimberley

Sarah, Social Circle member

I love socialising with new people and Social Circle gave me gave me loads of opportunity to do just that. Since joining, I've attended numerous events and have met so many great people that my social life has never been better. Just last week, I went to a pub crawl and a meal and next week am going to two more events in Manchester, wine tasting included. Life is good!

Sarah

Rachael, Social Circle member

I never knew I could learn so much at a wine tasting night. I always thought they were purely drinking nights in disguise. And while the emphasis of the event was on socialising (I met some great people on the night), I learned a lot about wine tasting and managed to impress my friends that weekend when entertaining for dinner.

Rachael

fitness_3, Social Circle member

I had never tried yoga before but as it was already included with Social Circle membership and I didn't have to join a gym just to give it a try, I though why not?. It was hard work at first but I always feel amazing after the class. I've made some wonderful friends through the classes, too. And it's amazing how relaxed I feel after the class.

fitness_3

Heather, Social Circle member

I saw Annie Get Your Gun with Social Circe, admittedly as I used to be a big Neighbours fan, so I largely went for nostalgia's sake. But I wasn't expecting to enjoy the show itself as much as I did. In fact, we all enjoyed it. We took in a drink after the show and promised to meet up at future events, which we did. I've become close friends with two of them, which can't be bad.

Heather

Gemma, Social Circle member

I went on a walking weekend with Social Circle, which I really enjoyed. I was a relatively beginner at walking, so it was quite a challenge for me. But fortunately, there was a low-level option for beginners, which shows how well organised it was. And we had some great fun getting to know one another in the evenings.'

Gemma

Gemma, Social Circle member

The Christie Walk was a great experience. Not only did it take place at Tatton Park, which I love, but it also raised funds and awareness of one of my favourite charities. We are lucky to have The Christie right here on our doorstep and I was honoured to be able to do my bit, in any way that I could.

Gemma

Michelle, Social Circle member

I had never been on holiday with people I didn't know before, so I was a bit unsure as what to expect. But from the opening night in Milan when we all went to dinner, I immediately felt at ease. It soon dawned on me that everyone was in the same boat and just wanted to enjoy themselves while meeting new people at the same time. Mission accomplished! Thanks for a great trip, Social Circle!

Michelle

Michelle, Social Circle member

The only chance I have to go to the cinema is with my son, so it had been a while since I had gotten to see any actual grown-up movies before I joined Social Circle. It's been liberating meeting people in my own age group and I've seen some great movies over the past couple of months. What's even better is that I've made some great friendships, too.

Michelle

Phil, Social Circle member

I reached that stage where most of my friends were in relationships and I had really become the odd one out, so drinks nights had become few and far between. Since joining Social Circle, I have been going out for drinks a couple of times a months at least. There always seems to be an exciting new venue on the calendar.

Phil

Caroline, Social Circle member

Enjoying a neck and shoulder massage on a Saturday morning is the perfect way to get over a Friday night, not to mention the stresses and strains from working all week. It's that extra care that Social Circle takes to really look after its members that makes me renew my membership time and time again. It really is among the best value social groups in Manchester.

Caroline

Sam, Social Circle member

“I attended the last Social Circle sports day and wow, what fun it was. It was a great mixture of sports, some I would have expected, like rounders, and others not so much, but definitely fun! We had a great time just messing around with snacks and drinks and it was one of the most fun Social Circle events I've been too.”

Sam

Ced, Social Circle member

I used to take regular trips to Spain but the mates I used to go with are now married with kids and so I hadn't been able to go for ages. Fortunately, Social Circle's holidays are perfect for those just like me who love nothing more than fun and socialising. The weekend was organised down to the last detail. I couldn’t have been more impressed.

Ced

Michael, Social Circle member

Walking has been a lifelong passion of mine but it's one that not many of my friends share. And even the ones who do only have time to go to the Lakes for a few hours. So I couldn’t wait to go on a walking weekend with Social Circle. I've met so many new walking friends on these weekends and have taken my passion to a new level.

Michael

Kris, Social Circle member

I went on a tour of Manchester city centre, led by a guide from Manchester Guided Tours, and wow, I had no idea there was so much to the city. I had only been here for 2 months and so wasn't versed in the history of Manchester that the locals would consider common knowledge. What I found amazing was, that with Social Circle, the cost of the tour was included with membership.

Kris

Tony, Social Circle member

I saw Beauty and the Beast at the Palace Theatre with Social Circle and my God, it was amazing. The visuals were stunning and when they played the song, I have to admit to getting a bit emotional. The others may have been laughing at me but, having said that, we all got along famously after the show. :) I'm definitely looking forward to more nights like this.

Tony

Scott, Social Circle member

I used to play 5-a-side regularly with the lads but it went from weekly to fortnightly to whenever everyone had the time. So it was ideal for me when I saw it was available with Social Circle. I love the drinks nights and meals but it's great to get out there and have a kick around as well. That's what I love about Social Circle: there's something of everything.

Scott

Deborah, Social Circle member

I'd been to yoga classes every week for years but it had been a while since I played sports. It was quite a change of pace to play squash and while I got beaten badly in the first couple of goes, I soon started to find the pace. And now I've made some really good friends who started out as squash partners through Social Circle.

Deborah

Louise, Social Circle member

I went to watch the parade for Chinese New Year and was really impressed with all of the effort that went into it. I like to appreciate other cultures and this enabled me to do just that while getting to know some of the other members at Social Circle. We all enjoyed the spectacle, as we did the meal and drinks afterwards. A great afternoon.

Louise

John, Social Circle member

I went to the Simply Health run (okay I confess, I was watching rather than taking part) and was taken back by the atmosphere. I'd only been in Manchester for just over a month and had literally joined Social Circle days earlier. I was watching with some of the other girls from Social Circle and we had a great time cheering on the runners.

John

John, Social Circle member

I had become something of a hermit after my divorce so a friend suggested I take a look at Social Circle. I was hesitant at first but eventually I decided to give it a try. I soon got back into the swing of socialising and I can't speak highly enough about the other members. They really made it easy for me to come out of my shell. Thanks Social Circle!

John

Peter, Social Circle member

I've been living in Manchester for eight years but had no idea there was so much right here on my doorstep. I live in Chorlton and most of my friends only visit the local bars. Since I joined Social Circle, I've been to so many new venues and met so many fantastic people. I'm impressed, to say the least.

Peter

Catherine, Social Circle member

I wasn't sure about going to a pub crawl as it sounded like something that my male friends would be more suited to. But I decided to give it a try and had an amazing night. There were loads of other girls out and we got to know some great bars around Deansgate and Spinningfields, sampling some amazing cocktails along the way.

Catherine

Layla, Social Circle member

I'd only just moved to Manchester and a pub crawl seemed like the perfect opportunity to get to know some of the local bars. I heard the Northern Quarter had some great venues and that's exactly where the pub crawl was taking place, which was great. I got to know some fantastic, local bars but even better than that, some of the wonderful people at Social Circle.

Layla

David, Social Circle member

There are some fantastic bars in Didsbury and I'd been trying to organise a pub crawl with my mates for months. Trying to get everyone involved on the same day and them all agreeing on the bars, however, was a tall order. Fortunately, Social Circle organise them all of the time and after having been to several of them, I would never bother try to organise one myself. Thank God for Social Circle.

David

Paul, Social Circle member

I had heard about this Social Circle for ages but I don't like committing to something unless I really know what it's all about. So I went to the New Members Night, where I couldn't have been made to feel more welcome, and had all of my questions answered. There wasn't any reason not to give Social Circle try at that point and I signed up on the day. It was a great decision, indeed!

Paul

Amanda, Social Circle member

Seeing the Halle orchestra had always been a dream of mine. I don't know why I never took the opportunity to see them before as the Bridgewater Hall is right on my doorstep, but with Social Circle, there was really no excuse. Funny, I met someone from Social Circle on the night who said the exact same thing.

Amanda

Paul, Social Circle member

As a business owner, it was great to see an event which could benefit my learning, and the best thing about it was that it was included in the price. I would expect to pay hundreds of pounds for this kind or training elsewhere. Social Circle, you exceeded my expectations once more. The value is just incredible.

Paul

Tony, Social Circle member

I always enjoyed taking photos with my phone (and I don't just mean selfies, ha) and was interested in how to take higher quality photographs. So the opportunity to take the photography class with Social Circle was too good to pass up. I learned a lot at the class and now enjoy taking photos with my phone even more.

Tony

Alex, Social Circle member

I love walking and as much as I enjoy a ramble in the Peak District, it's great to be able to go on a weekend with some new people and get to know each other while walking in stunning surroundings. The weekend was well organised and we had everything we needed to make the most out of it.

Alex

Louise, Social Circle member

I love Manchester but just sometimes it feels great to get away and enjoy the sun for a change. And when I saw a trip to Madrid on the calendar, I couldn't resist. Throw in some sand, sea, and sangria, and there was just no way I was going to say no. All the trips were well organised and everyone got on great with each other. Fantastic trip!

Louise

Sarah, Social Circle member

I had always fancied going on a skiing holiday after having spent hours and hours at Chill Factore. So it was great to have a chance at trying the real thing. The accommodation was fantastic and not only did I have a great time on the slopes, but enjoyed myself every bit as much at night when we all got together for some serious socialising: drinks, karaoke, you name it.

Sarah

Kris, Social Circle member

I love pub crawls and had been trying to organise one with my mates for about a year. But I could never get them all to agree on a date, especially with two of them having recently been married. The Social Circle pub crawls have been described as legendary and I would have to agree. There were at least 20 of us and every one of them were far more fun than my mates would have been.

Kris

Tony, Social Circle member

I didn't see myself going to Alton Towers at my age but I got talked into going and I'm so glad I did. There may have been a ride or two I ducked out of but I had so much fun on what I did go, the rapids especially, and have become very good friends with some of the others who came along. What a great event.

Tony

Sophie, Social Circle member

I hadn't been on a proper day out in years and had forgotten how much fun it can be. I booked on to a trip to York, which was fantastic. We were having a great time from the moment we met at the train station up until the moment we came back. I definitely plan on attending more days out and can't wait for the next one.

Sophie

Peter, Social Circle member

Organising a night out with your mates can be hard enough at the best of times, never mind an entire day. The fact that that is taken out of your hands is what I like most about Social Circle. I saw a walking day to the Peak District, booked my place and that was all of the organising I had to do. Thanks for arranging, Social Circle.

Peter

Sarah, Social Circle member

I've been living in Manchester for eight years but had no idea there was so much right here on my doorstep. I live in Chorlton and most of my friends only visit the local bars. Since I joined Social Circle, I've been to so many new venues and met so many fantastic people while exploring all of the wonderful things to do in Manchester. I'm impressed, to say the least.

Sarah

Anthony, Social Circle member

I hadn't been dancing in years and have to admit to being a bit intimidated after a fellow Social Circle member convinced me to attend a jive class. Fortunately, it came back to me and I was able to pick it up. I also became good friends with a couple of other members of Social Circle on the night.

Anthony

Catherine, Social Circle member

I knew that Manchester nightlife was legendary but I didn't really know how to get involved. I didn't know my colleagues that well and they tended to go their separate ways after work. I heard about Social Circle and after looking at the website, booked on to a salsa night. I had so much fun and now I go every week, having made loads of new Manchester friends in the process.

Catherine

Caroline, Social Circle member

I had always wanted to visit York but it was just one of those places I had never gotten around to visiting. When I saw Social Circle were organising a day there, I had no excuses. I had a wonderful day, visiting such monuments as York Minster. Don't get me wrong, I still love a drink or two on a Friday night, but I love the odd cultural experience, too.

Caroline

Kris, Social Circle member

I've seen so many great movies with Social Circle that I probably otherwise wouldn't have gotten around to. My friends have a very different taste in movies than me and don't go to the cinema often as it is. So it's great to get a chance to meet some like-minded people. The only downside is that I've put on a few extra pounds from all of the popcorn I've been eating :)

Kris

Layla, Social Circle member

I love a good dance and the fact that it was for charity helped make my decision an easy one to attend the Charity Ceilidh Night. I had never tried this dance before but obviously it wasn't Strictly Come Dancing so even I didn't look out of place. One of my friends won a beauty product and we all had a great time.

Layla

Michael, Social Circle member

I took part in the BUPA Fun Run and while I had never ran that distance beforehand, I had such a great time. There was a fab atmosphere on the day and it was even more fun running alongside other members of Social Circle. And thanks to my generous friends and family, I raised a decent amount of cash for a good cause.

Michael

Alex, Social Circle member

I love meeting people and while that is certainly the best thing about Social Circle, the extra benefits that you get from membership are truly amazing. I've received an aqua detox, a manicure, and a neck and shoulder massage all completely free. And, to be honest, my membership was already excellent value without all of those additional benefits.

Alex

Sophie, Social Circle member

Living in Manchester, it can be all too tempting to rest on your laurels and lean on what's accessible, especially as there is so much to do right here on our doorstep. But after a while, I needed more than just a few drinks on the odd weekend. With Social Circle, I can do so much more, as there are not only social events but a diverse range of adventure activities, too.

Sophie

Amanda, Social Circle member

I've always craved adventure but it's really difficult to find the time to organise, and even on those rare occasions I had gotten around to it, friends had let me down. I never need to worry about that now thanks to Social Circle, as there's always something to look forward to that allows me to explore my more adventurous side.

I used to be really active but had become lazy in recent years. Social Circle has really shaken me up and was just the right thing at the right time. Not only are my weekends so much more fun but I have a renewed sense of energy throughout the week. My life has definitely changed for the better. Thanks Social Circle!

The friends I've known for years have always been up for a night out on the town on a weekend but when it came to anything more active, I had no-one in my group of friends to join me. Since I joined Social Circle, I've enjoyed numerous activities and as most of my friends had moved away, it was great to meet some new friends in Manchester in the process.
