                                     Who is it for?

What is the aim of Solo Arts Scene?
We aim to cater for people with an interest in the arts and who would like to attend such events with friends who share a similar interest.

Is Solo Arts Scene just for single people?
No. Everyone is welcome to join.  We know there are lots of people in relationships but whose partners have different interests.  Membership is intended for all, whether with a partner or single.  We are like the ramblers open to all with a similar interest.

What sort of ages will fellow members be?
The minimum age to join is 21, but we hope to attract people from the 35+ age group.

 I want to attend art events but also want to meet new people and socialise. Is this possible?
Yes, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to meet and chat with others.

Are you able to make personal introductions?
No, Solo Arts Scene is not a dating agency.

 

                                  Why should I join?

What might a typical annual programme include?
This will vary and will take account of members views but typically you can expect: 8 -10 trips to the theatre, 2 or 3 trips to the ballet, 2 or 3 trips to the opera, 2 or 3 trips to classical music events and 4 trips to museums and art galleries.  In addition, trips will also be arranged to restaurants and outdoor music events.

How many people will be at each event?
This will vary depending on the event but for the theatre and similar excursions 10 will be the minimum number and 20 will be the maximum.  If more members wish to attend a particular show or event, wherever possible, a second date will be arranged.

How many events can I attend?
There are no limits on the number of events you can attend. Book early and attend all.

 

                                  What does it cost?

What does membership cost?
There are two types of membership available, so you can select which one suits you best:

bulletAnnual membership is £97 and, if you join before the 1st December 2008, this entitles you to attend our introductory event to meet your hosts and fellow members for only £5.  As a full annual member you can cancel your membership within the first 6-months and receive a 40% refund of the original fee paid.
 
bulletA 6-monthly membership is also available for £55, however no refund is available if you decide to cancel your membership within this period.  If you join before 1st December 2008, you will also be entitled to attend the introductory event to meet your hosts and fellow members for only £5.

The cost of tickets to individual events will be charged separately.

What is the introductory event?
This is a special launch event held in the beautiful surroundings and Palladian mansion at Ston Easton Park.   Join us for canapés and wine (or soft drinks) in private accommodation at this wonderful 5* hotel, and meet your hosts and fellow members.  Only available to those who join early.  If you are unable to make this particular event but  would still like to meet hosts and members, another introductory event will be held in January 2009.

Will I have to pay a booking or admin fee?
No booking fee will be charged.  A small admin fee will be charged as a contribution towards the cost of arranging the event, booking tickets and providing a host at all events.  These will be kept to a minimum and generally will be around £2.50 - £5 per event.

Is it better to book early?
Definitely.  Book early to ensure your place at an event.  Places at events will be pre-booked, if an event is oversubscribed we will do our best to arrange a 2nd date but this cannot be guaranteed.  Bookings will be on a ‘first come basis’ but a reserve list will be maintained.
