English Heritage Debuts Daily Prize Draw for ‘Private Time’ at Stonehenge This August
- English Heritage will randomly select one advance ticket holder daily throughout August for exclusive access to Stonehenge's inner circle, where winners receive 20 minutes alone at the 5,000-year-old monument.
- For 125 years, Stonehenge has restricted public access to a surrounding path with barriers to protect fragile archaeology from more than one million annual visitors. Interim head of Stonehenge Georgia Butters explained this barrier remains necessary to preserve the site's condition.
- Visitors inside the inner circle can observe "delicate carvings" and "really rare lichen," according to Butters, who stated the experience offers "a certain stillness and tranquility" highlighting the "immensity of the size of the stones."
- Trowbridge-Based priestess Sarah Robinson praised the initiative as an "amazing idea," noting that while barriers create a "very disconnected" experience, standing within the stones allows "your imagination just takes over" and taps into the site's spiritual energy.
- Advance bookings made at least 72 hours before travel automatically enter visitors into the daily draw, with winners notified 24 hours prior to their visit, granting 20 minutes of exclusive access described as a "once in a lifetime opportunity.
