Stonehenge Circle Visit & Photography Exhibition

Experience Stonehenge close up with our exclusive Members Event.
English Heritage archaeologist Susan Greaney will take a small group of SCC Members into the stone circle at dawn for a guided tour of the monument. On return to the visitor centre, you will enjoy a private view of Your Stonehenge – 150 Years of Personal Photos – the new special exhibition at Stonehenge. Created entirely from photos sent in by visitors, this exhibition offers a fascinating glimpse of the recent social history of Stonehenge. These snapshots from family albums as early as 1875, chart the changing of fashions, poses, photography and the way that the monument itself has altered.
Wednesday 4 March 2020.
7am – 9am
Members must provide their own transport to and from Stonehenge

Also this English Heritage site is worth more than a cursory look.


Participants should park in the visitor car park on the right hand side as you go through the gate and then walk the short distance to the visitor centre where I will meet them. We will take a bus from the visitor centre to the stones. The key thing is for people to dress warmly and wear sensible shoes. It’s cold and damp at the monument at that time in the morning. We’ll go ahead regardless of the weather so waterproofs and umbrellas are a good idea if it’s forecast to be raining. If anyone has any access requirements it would be good to be aware of them but we are an accessible site so it shouldn’t present any difficulty to accommodate them.

I will be there on behalf of Stonehenge as well as my colleagues Susan and Mel who are giving the tour.
