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.

Your experience starts with a tour of the bird of prey centre, where you’ll get up close and personal with 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 get comfortable with you.

Next it’s time to try out falconry for real - you’ll fly some birds to the fist, watching them show off their skills and getting some thrills medieval-style when a top predator comes into land on your glove.

How often have you heard someone say they’d love to do ‘one of those’ when they see a Hot Air Balloon float silently overhead?

Give someone special this gift experience and they will find themselves in the basket of a hot air balloon watching the world wake up. The experience starts by firstly meeting your pilot for the flight and get an all important flight safety briefing. You then have to help with preparing and inflating the balloon before climbing into the basket for launch time.

Your flight will reach heights of 5,000 feet, giving you ample time to watch the beautiful views of the countryside drift silently by. You will hear no wind noise because the balloon travels at the same speed and with the wind. When you eventually land, you will then help to deflate the balloon and help pack it all away. You will then have earnt a welcome glass of champagne (or soft drink).

It’s then a trip back to the launch area by road and upon arrival you will be presented with a commemorative flight certificate to take home with you to remind you of your Hot Air Ballooning experience.

Feel the rush of the wind in an open cockpit of a Tiger Moth or vintage biplane in this excellent Flight Gift Experience. You wil be taken back through the years when aviation was all about freedom and adventure in the open air.

Upon arrival, you will need to attend a pre-flight briefing, then you move on to get fitted for a Biggles-stle flying jacket (you’ll need it!) before you climb into the cockpit. Depending on your location, you will be flying in either a Tiger Moth or a 1930s Stampe SV4.

The Tiger Moth is the quintessential English biplane, with the Stampe being the Belgian equivalent and all models have been lovingly restored. Enjoy the spectacular views once you are airbourne while the plane is flown though a series of manoeuvres by the pilo (subject to weather conditions).

You’ll also have the opportunity to take the controls yourself and discover the sensation that has made generations of flyers fall in love with these lively little planes.

The beautiful step sister of the stunning Lamborghini Gallardo, the Audi R8 might be half the price but with a waiting list that reads like a fantasy football team - this is the car that any self respecting Premiership player or city boy wants to be seen in.

Clarkson described the R8 as one of the truly great cars and the only hesitation he has in awarding a coveted five stars is that, ideally, he would like to give it six.

Judge this amazing car for yourself and see what all the fuss is about as you slip behind the wheel of a motoring legend in the making.

In addition to all of this, your day to remember will also include a drive in a Ferrari 360 or 550.
