The event starts at 12 noon and you order your meals. We have our usual special offer of 2 meals for just £14 (see menu for which meals are eligible)

Once you have had Lunch there will be a singer, this month's entertainer is Ricky Ashcroft!

The cabaret will be on the 1st Tuesday of the month and perfect for people at a lose end during the day. It will be a wonderful afternoon and a nice opportunity to have a home cooked meal at a good price, meet like minded people while enjoying some light entertainment and all by a cozy log fire!!

Celebrating Digitober at Circle This year we are celebrating Digitober at Circle thinking about all the learners and volunteers that have been joining our classes in the last 2 years.

We had a great time on the Fungi ID Walk along with East Manchester Circle Prestwich Circle & Crompton Circle Members!

In the last 10 years over 150 people volunteered for Circle,
supporting the community in different ways.

Currently we have over 50 active volunteers supporting the different services from Circle from volunteer drivers, to admin volunteers, digital support volunteers and more.

Today we have Kathryn, one of our dedicated volunteers helping us out in the office with some of our admin tasks.
