Mini golf is a sport enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities. Commonly referred to as crazy golf, putt-putt, goofy golf, shorties and mini putt amongst many names. The main objective of the game is to hit a ball from a tee-off point into a hole in as few shots as possible. Courses typically include a variety of interesting and tricky obstacles for players to putt through, over, under and around!
On all of the scorecards you will have a par for each hole, Par is the suggested amount of shots you should make your putt in on each hole. For example, if the Par of Hole 7 is 3, then you should realistically be aiming to get the ball in the hole in 3 shots. Miniature Golf is a very easy sport to play, you don't need to be an expert to enjoy the fun and it truly is a great activity for all the family to partake in!

Celebrate a quintessentially British past-time with a modern twist and indulge in a spot of Afternoon Tea with Bubbly for Two.
Afternoon tea has been a British institution since Anna Maria Russell - the seventh Duchess of Bedford - asked her footman to bring her a pot of tea with light refreshment one afternoon in 1840. The ritual caught on and afternoon tea became the corner stone of high society dining. These days taking tea as a light afternoon meal has become much more accessible, without losing a crumb of its wonderful charm.
This experience offers you and a guest the opportunity to indulge in a sumptuous selection of sweet and savoury treats with tea and bubbly in some of the most lavish hotels and tea rooms in the country. With a wide selection of carefully hand-picked afternoon tea locations to choose from, there’s a venue to please all for any occasion. Whether you’re looking for an elegant country manor house or a trendy boutique city hotel to enjoy a stylish and sophisticated dining experience, or for a more relaxed and contemporary affair, maybe a homely independent tearoom is more your thing. Wherever you choose, you are spoilt for afternoon tea locations to pick from.
Your afternoon tea may vary slightly depending on which location you have chosen. You could be treated to a pleasing array of freshly made finger sandwiches, yummy scones served with cream and jam, or even something quite unique like a trio of burgers. At most locations, you will also enjoy a choice of mouth-watering cakes or pastries and most importantly, accompanied with an elegant glass of either fizz or sparkling wine.
Whether you are celebrating or simply relaxing, this is the perfect way to spend an afternoon.

To complete this experience you will also get to taste some of the brewery's beers.
At the beginning of your experience you will first meet your expert brewery guide. Then you will be taken around the brewery where you will get to see what goes on behind the scenes. A brief history of the brewery itself and the beers produced may also be included. At the end of the tour you will taste a selection of the beers produced and then visit the brewery shop to perhaps purchase something to enjoy at home.

You will then have the opportunity to fly two birds "to the fist" so you can experience the unforgettable sensation of having a magnificent bird of prey on your arm. From start to finish you will be in the thick of the action whilst the falconer guides and educates you in aspects of the raptor world.

Looking for a unique activity for your next family outing? Bring the family together, lace up your walking shoes, and embark on an unforgettable adventure with our family treasure hunt. Whether you're interested in exploring your own neighbourhood from a fresh perspective or discovering a new city, our treasure hunt packs promise hours of fun!
How it works:
Once you’ve purchased your activity voucher, a PDF pack with your scavenger hunt clues will be sent to you. You can choose from two different sets of clues:
1. The easy clues are perfect for all ages. These hints are straightforward and ask for something that can be easily observed during your treasure hunt, like gathering information from a plaque along the way.
2. The cryptic clues offer a greater challenge and are perfect for older participants. These clues might ask for something harder to spot, require some general knowledge, or read more like a riddle rather than a direct question.
In addition to the two sets of clues, you will receive three bonus rounds. These bonus rounds can be completed alongside the main hints and will add an extra element of fun to your adventure.
1. Picture Round: This round will challenge you to take pictures of specific places and objects you encounter along the treasure hunt route.
2. Items to Collect: As you progress on your scavenger hunt, keep an eye out for everyday objects listed in this bonus round.
3. Pub Names: If you're exploring a location with numerous pubs and bars, this bonus round is perfect for you. These cryptic clues will lead you to discover the names of various pubs and bars along the way.
Once you’ve received your treasure hunt pack, choose which clues you want to follow and print them off for everyone participating.
The scavenger hunt can be completed in a number of locations throughout England, including several treasure trails in London. Please keep in mind that this activity isn’t organised. You’ll receive your pack of treasure hunt clues by email and complete the experience on the day of your choice.
Treasure hunts in London and other cities can be completed on foot, while rural ones require driving. It's worth noting that most rural hunts, as well as the majority of city-based ones, are designed to be non-circular. This means that they will have a distinct starting and ending point.

There is nothing like taking a leisurely stroll around glorious countryside, but this vineyard tour has so much more to offer than just breath taking views and the chance to learn about the intricate and ancient art of wine-making. For those who want to know what it’s really like to run a vineyard, this tour is perfect as the man who made it all happen is usually either conducting the tours himself, or can be found out among the vines doing anything from checking the ripeness of the grapes to lighting hundreds of special candles to keep the vines warm in the face of impending frost.
This tour is perfect for any pair who appreciates the chance to find out more about British wine, not least the secret to the success of local growers like Tim Chafor. They can find out how he taught himself the business and learn how his vineyard is earning a reputation amongst the critics for producing high-quality wine that can hold its own against more established contenders.
This experience will start with a warm welcome, including a drink, and guests will then be shown around the vineyard and given a chance to see how the process works, from deciding where to plant the vines to harvesting the grapes and transforming them into delectable drinks. With 23 acres of land, there is plenty to see and even more to learn about the incredible things that the team at Chafor have achieved.
There will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions and, of course, the all-important tasting during which guests will get the chance to sample some of the finished product alongside some bar snacks. With a slew of awards under their belts, the Chafor team are going from strength to strength and this is a chance to find out how they have taken the world of wine by storm.

Visit Barn Mews Clinic and enjoy some pampering with a 30 minute holistic massage or benefit from a deep tissue massage if you prefer.
Holistic Massage is highly relaxing and based on Swedish massage techniques. The massage strokes tend to be longer and more fluid, whilst shorter, smaller strokes are used to warm up the muscles and reduce any tension or ‘knots’ in the muscles and connective tissues. The massages are relaxing & with the additional focus applied to the knots, this helps to disperse any tightness in the area and encourage more localised blood flow into the muscle.
Deep tissue massage is frequently used for the prevention and recovery of sports and activity related injuries and can play a very useful role during training and in the run up to and recovery period from a sports event. However, it is not only beneficial to the sports person as the techniques used can also help to alleviate and prevent general day to day and work related aches and pains. Sitting at a desk all day places pressure on your back, neck and shoulders which can lead to muscle imbalance and tension. This type of massage is designed to release muscle tension and is commonly used to increase joint and tissue flexibility throughout the body.

We ordered an array of sides from their ample menu to create a sharing board starter and the vegetable samosas were so tasty! The Burgers were succulent and very filling, great value! We finished off our meal with a chocolate fondant, this was absolutely heavenly! For the quality of food and service I will definitely be returning.
What did you enjoy the most?
The best bit of this whole experience was the attentive and friendly staff. The team whilst professional were very friendly making us feel extremely comfortable. We were made to feel very welcome and were given the freedom to make use of all the space. We enjoyed a drink in the bar prior to dinner in the restaurant and then finished our drinks in the garden before departing.
1. Order the Chocolate Fondant for dessert, this was rich, decadent and definitely satisfying.
2. If the weather is warm be sure to sit next to the bifold doors in the restaurant!
3. Be sure to enjoy a drink in the bar prior to going through to the restaurant, make the most of that cosy atmosphere.
