Gift Exeriences | Experience Days

When it comes to motor racing the image that comes to mind first is that of the single seater racing cars that the likes of Lewis Hamilton drives in Formula 1.

Single seater driving experiences make the ultimate driving experience

Everything about single seater racing cars is designed so that they can drive fast and stick to the track like glue, their aerodynamic shapes, low center of gravity and being light-weight means that they make the perfect design for getting around a race track…FAST!

With your bum only inches from the asphalt below, your legs stretched out in front of you with your feet on the pedals, your hands on the steering wheel, helmet on you strapped into the drivers seat you can’t feel any more a racing driver than when sat in a single seater. As you sit there exposed to the elements it is a strange sensation when you set off in a single seater, you can feel the wind wafting round your neck as you bury the throttle and speeds feel so much faster being sat so close to the ground, just like in a go-kart!
As you sit there you are all alone, there is no instructor sat next to you sayign things, it is just you and the car and the various flags aroudn the circuit as your conly communication!

For any motor sport enthusiast this is a driving experience that won’t leave them disappointed, it is a totally unique experience that is so very different than any other driving experience available, simply because other driving experiences you sit in real road cars that have 2 seats and a roof for starters, the single seater takes your car driving to the next level in a machine that is designed only for the purpose of going fast around a race track!

Hot Air Balloon Rides

To make your balloon ride that extra bit special you can even book Champagne balloon flights where you can enjoy sipping a glass of bubbly as you float up above everyone and everything.

Obviously Balloon rides can be subject to the weather and if conditions aren’t suitable then it is not always possible to go Hot Air Ballooning.
We will write a set of guidelines and frequently asked questions about going hot air ballooning soon to answer any questions and advise you on booking your trip.

Have you got a bit of a wet & wild side? If so then the idea of jumping in an inflatable raft with a paddle and floating down some white water rapids may be just the thing that takes your fancy, but then again it may not, if it does then White Water Rafting might be the thing to try

White Water Rafting is for those who like action and adventure

White water rafting isn’t for the faint hearted, you are at the mercy of the water and you and the other people in the white water raft are all that can steer where you are going to make sure you come out of the other end intact!

You, along with the others in your raft will have to get to grips with working together to try and make sure you can all negotiate the white water rapids successfully, although be prepared to swim if the raft goes over. You will all be equipped with life jackets and helmets for protection and safety so as long as you don’t mind getting wet (would you really be looking at going white water rafting if you were) then you will have an absolutely brilliant time!

Don’t worry too much that you are going to end up in a raft that you won’t be able to get out of, there is an experienced instructor with you all who will make sure that you will be able to get off and not still be floating down the river when it’s got dark until you hit the sea

White water rafting is easily done as an individual gift experience where you can join up with others at the venue or it can be done as a group experience so is ideal for a stag-do or even a business team building exercise as you all have to work together.

Do you want to make sure you buy the right gift experience for someone then you can make sure that they end up with the perfect experience by buying them a gift experience voucher up to the value you want to spend and letting them choose what takes their fancy!

Two of the most iconic things to do with motorsport & cars has to be that of Silverstone & Ferrari.

It is little surprise then that one of the most popular driving experiences that people choose is to go to Silverstone and do some Ferrari driving.

Ferrari driving at Silverstone

Not only are you getting the chance to drive at the place that has been home to the British Formula 1 Grand Prix for years but also you are getting to do it in one of the most iconic and most well known supercars in the world, a Ferrari!

So basically you can think of this Ferrari driving experience as 2 for the price of 1 or killing 2 birds with 1 stone.

Imagine driving the very SAME Silverstone circuit as past greats such as Ayrton Senna, Nigel Mansell, Michael Schumacher, Alan Prost or the current World Champion Lewis Hamilton! It’s a nice line to be able to say “Like Schumacher, I have also driven a Ferrari around Silverstone”, I bet not many of your friends are able to say that!

Zorbing is an “extreme sport” of sorts, (although there isn’t really that much in the way of danger to it as you are cushioned by around 60cm of air) where you get into a ball and roll down a hill in it.

Zorb rolling down a hill

The idea of Zorbing is that you enter the Zorb (which will be at the top of a hill/slope)  through a hole in the side of the Zorb into an inner ball where you may be strapped into place (some Zorbs allow 2 people to ride together and some are for single riders). Then once in place you will be set to roll down the hill in the Zorb and you will roll your way down the hill. This is Zorbing.

There are other variations where sometimes you may not be strapped in, sometimes you may have a bucket of water thrown in too, this is called Aqua-Zorbing, or you go in a ball that lets no light in so you won’t have a clue where you are heading (well other than knowing that gravity is taking you down).

Zorbing can also be known as Sphereing.

“I want to roll down a hill in a ball” - Come on admit it, it’s the activity that is first on everyone’s mind when they wonder what they want to do on a Saturday afternoon!

If you have ever wondered what the activity of rolling down a hill in a ball is called then it is Zorbing or Sphereing.

Zorbing, like many popular extreme sports, was started in New Zealand in 1994 and has spread around the world as an extreme sport that is done for fun.

Riders are strapped into the Zorb ball and then roll down a hill in the ball before coming to a stop at the bottom.

Check the video below of someone Zorbing or book to go Zorbing here (link to Buyagift UK)
