A list of our top 10

1. Supercar driving

Put your foot down in a Ferrari, Lamborghini or Aston Martin and feel the engine roar as you race around a real track. This is a bucket list experience for anyone who’s always dreamed of driving a supercar.

2. Afternoon tea at a luxury hotel

Enjoy delicate finger sandwiches, warm scones with clotted cream and a selection of sweet treats, all served in elegant surroundings. A lovely way to slow down and indulge in a bit of tradition.

3. Hot air balloon ride

Drift peacefully over rolling hills and patchwork fields as the sun rises or sets. It’s one of the most romantic ways to see the countryside and perfect for couples who want to share something truly unforgettable.

 4. Spa day with treatments

Spend a day wrapped in a fluffy robe, enjoying calming treatments like massages or facials, followed by time in the sauna or relaxation room. A well-earned pause from daily life.

5. Helicopter tour

Take off and soar over city skylines or coastal landscapes with a bird’s-eye view. You’ll get to see familiar places from a whole new perspective and maybe even spot your own neighbourhood from above.

6. Three-course dinner with wine

Sit down to a delicious meal at a top-rated restaurant, choosing from starters, mains and desserts that are as beautifully presented as they are flavourful. Toast the evening with a glass of wine included.

 7. Junior driving experiences

Let young drivers take the wheel in a safe and exciting environment. With expert instructors and scaled-down tracks, kids as young as ten can learn real skills and feel the thrill of driving for the first time.

8. Bungee jump

Step up to the edge and feel the rush as you leap into the air, securely harnessed and heart racing. It’s a daring challenge and an incredible feeling of freedom once you’ve done it.

9. Short break for two

Pack an overnight bag and escape together to a countryside retreat, cosy B&B or chic city hotel. Explore local sights by day and unwind with a glass of wine in the evening.

10. Make your own gin

Get creative in a distillery workshop where you’ll learn how to mix botanicals, adjust flavours and craft your own gin recipe. You’ll even take home your personalised bottle at the end of the session.
