NOTES is our salon series of immersive evenings in music, film and ideas. Presented and hosted by special guests and industry thought leaders in ideas, music and the film industry.

Each night is curated as a whole experience: a record listened to deeply, a film seen differently, an idea opened up in company. Intimate, considered and alive, NOTES offers a level of cultural experience unique to Circle & Star.

What to expect

A night in each room.

FIELDNOTES
Think · the idea

A thinker takes us on a journey of discovery and insight — plus the odd special surprise.
