English Heritage launches daily private access prize draw at Stonehenge
English Heritage, the organization responsible for the UNESCO World Heritage site Stonehenge in Wiltshire, UK, has introduced a daily prize draw for exclusive private access to the ancient monument during August. Individuals who purchase advance tickets for next month will be automatically entered into the draw. The lucky winner will enjoy 20 minutes of solitude within the stone circle between 9:10am and 9:30am on their selected day, accompanied by a member of the Stonehenge team who will share insights on history and conservation. If the winner is part of a group booking, up to 10 participants can join. Georgia Butters, head of operations for Stonehenge at English Heritage, called it a unique chance to experience the site's atmosphere without crowds. Annually, the site attracts about 1.3 million visitors.
