English Heritage is providing a select number of visitors the opportunity to spend 20 minutes alone at Stonehenge during August. Anyone purchasing an advance ticket for the ancient monument will be automatically entered into a draw to win this exclusive access. Winners will be informed of their prize at least 24 hours before their allocated time slot.
A Unique Experience
The draw allows for a private viewing between 9am and 9:30am each day in August. This experience grants winners the chance to be among the iconic stones without other visitors present, offering a moment for quiet contemplation, photography, and closer observation of the monument's details. Winners will also receive a breakfast roll and a hot drink.

About Stonehenge
Stonehenge, a World Heritage Site, was constructed approximately 5,000 years ago. The prehistoric monument, located on Salisbury Plain, attracts over one million visitors annually. Its exact purpose remains unknown, though experts suggest its alignment with solstice sunrises and sunsets indicates a connection to celestial events. The initial construction involved bluestones transported from Wales, with larger sarsen stones added later to form the recognisable circle.

How to Enter
To be entered into the draw, visitors must purchase an advance ticket for Stonehenge at least 72 hours before their planned visit during August. One winning booking will be selected each day throughout the month. This initiative provides a rare chance to experience the landmark in a way that very few people have.
