This is great way to try out acting and learn all about the theatre at one of the most successful shows in the world. First of all, before the day, you'll be sent a synopsis of the show on CD (read by Sir Ian McKellan) so that you're familiar with the story. The big day starts off with a fantastic three-hour kids' workshop - no adults allowed! This includes a backstage tour of the theatre and a drama workshop based on improvisational games that will bring out your inner star. The workshop ends which a re-enactment of a scene from the show, using real costumes and props, plus a chance to quiz a real member of the Les Mis cast and a certificate to take home. A packed lunch with a sandwich, crisps, apple and juice is included (sorry but special dietary needs can't be catered for, so bring your own lunch if you prefer). Meanwhile mum or dad can enjoy some free time in London, returning to the theatre in time for both of you to watch a matinee performance of the hit musical.

Did you ever dream of running away to join the circus when you were a kid? This experience will show you what you missed out on. And you're certainly in for a busy day. You'll learn acrobatic balancing and tumbling (like cartwheels and handstands - definitely stuff you can show off to your friends), stilt walking, juggling and diabolo (the spinny thing that you juggle with sticks). And then there's the really amazing stuff - static trapeze, tight wire walking and (drum roll please!) flying trapeze. You won't forget this day in a hurry! If it all sounds impossible, and frankly pretty scary, don't worry; you'll be under constant expert supervision, within a carefully controlled environment. All equipment hire is included (except for the natty sequined costume), and you'll also get lunch at the nearby Juggler Cafe. Just bring a sense of humour, bags of energy and willingness to look like a bit of a clown...

As if bungee jumping wasn't frightening enough, now there is The Abyss - the only commercial indoor bungee jump in the world. You're in semi-darkness with music pumping out of a wall of speakers, dry ice filling the air and seven huge projection screens showing your fellow jumpers in action. That's right - bungee jumping has gone rock'n'roll. Your experience begins when you climb 143 steps up the Face of Steel to the 150ft jump zone. You'll be helped into the bungee harness (with thorough safety checks) and you're ready to go. After a few words of encouragement, and a few very deep breaths, it's 1... 2... 3... bungee! You'll plummet towards the ground before the bungee rope reaches its return point and you ping back towards the rafters. After a few more bounces, you'll be lowered back to terra firma. Then after a breather, get back up there and do it all over again! All equipment and club membership are included, and you can buy a video of your jump on the day.

The R8 is handsome, dynamic and its refinement level is guaranteed to impress. Drive four breathtaking laps of either of the 1.8 mile circuits available, they are both designed to put cars like this through their paces.

Controlling a skid is a useful skill, and this experience teaches you all about it both as a fun day out, and as something you might need to use on the road one day. You'll start with a safety briefing and a discussion on the cause and cures of different kinds of skids. Then you'll use techniques that simulate loss of car control, with the vehicle seeming to get away from you. Skidpan driving focuses on both avoidance and recovery, and you'll learn the skills of driving on ice, aquaplaning and skid avoidance exercises with friendly and expert instructors, who'll always keep their head even if you're a bit spooked. Courses are held either on an oil-like surface or using a computerised skid frame (looks like stabilisers on your bike, only they're not very stabilising). Some courses also include time trials to test your new skills.

Start your day off with a thrilling indoor zip wire ride, racing 250 feet and going up to 30 mph, to get you off to a flying start.

Then conclude your experience by trying the latest extreme craze, a 150 feet indoor parachute simulator.

Finally go out screaming with the world's only indoor bungee jump from 150 foot through dry ice. Jump to some pumping sounds under the glare of seven giant video screens.

Get up close and personal with some of nature's magnificent and regal birds of prey. You'll learn all about the art of falconry and have a chance to try it for yourself. You'll spend a full day at the falconry centre, finding out all about the birds and getting plenty of time to experience falconry first hand. You'll start with a tour of the centre, where you'll get up close to different species and 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 so that you get comfortable with them and they can get comfortable with you. Next it's time to try out falconry for real - you'll fly some of the birds over open countryside, watching them show off their skills and getting some thrills medieval-style when a top predator comes into land on your glove. Lunch is included.
