Days Out
With a friend, you can get up close and personal with some of nature's magnificent and regal birds of prey. You'll both learn all about the art of falconry and have a chance to try it for yourselves. You'll find out lots about the birds and will be given plenty of time to experience falconry first-hand. Getting really close to different species like this, you will learn what makes a hawk a hawk, a falcon a falcon and an owl an owl. Then you'll get expert tuition in the art of falconry and have time to handle the birds yourselves so that you get comfortable with them and they can get comfortable with you. Next try it out for real as you'll fly some of the birds, watching them show off their skills. It's an amazing opportunity to see these dramatic birds up close and watch their spellbinding flight - and there can't be many thrills to match the experience of a real bird of prey coming in to land on your glove. Two grown ups are welcome to join you for free on your day.

Horse riding isn't just spoiled little girls cajoling fat ponies round the gymkhana course - it's relaxing, exciting and refreshingly outdoorsy. So whether you're a novice or an experienced rider we're sure that you'll love this riding day. Staff always appreciate an early arrival so that you can get registered and help make sure the experience begins promptly and runs to time. You'll start off with a half hour lesson within the grounds of the riding school, during which your instructor will assess your abilities to plan your next activity. Then you'll either continue with your lesson or go out on a hack (including walk and trot) in lovely English countryside or woodland. On your first visit, cantering is not allowed outside the arenas. Over the course of the experience you'll have three hours riding, taking place before and after a hearty three course lunch, which you'll thoroughly deserve - riding is pretty physical and there's nothing like fresh air to make a person hungry!

Lots of people assume that the most exciting thing you're likely to see in the coastal waters round Britain is a mackerel. In fact there is a staggering variety of marine and bird life living happily round our shores - and with this experience you'll get the chance to see it for yourselves. You'll be welcomed at the marina, before going aboard your boat and heading out. You might see bottlenose, common or striped dolphins, porpoises, basking sharks, minke whales, fin whales, humpback whales (yes, whales and sharks around Britain!), atlantic grey seals and visiting seasonal sea birds including skuas, sabine's gulls and the fabulously-named sooty shearwaters. Of course these are all wild animals so we can't guarantee which ones may make an appearance on the day, but we can guarantee a fascinating and eye-opening experience.

English wines are becoming increasingly popular and have gained a well respected reputation within the industry in the UK and abroad.

From here go straight onto the winery to find out something about the winemaking process, from the arrival of the grapes to bottling of the finished wine. And what better way to finish a perfect day out than... you guessed it... quaff some wine! You'll taste three different varieties and a buffet meal is also included. A bottle is all yours to take home and savour later.
