Steam train driving

If you think that modern trains have lost all the beauty and mystique of the old world steamers, the steam train driving experience offers the chance to steam-power through the countryside, enjoying beautiful views of Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire while sitting in the conductor’s seat of a 5/8thscale classic steam engine.

Rally driving

For those who enjoy the ultimate thrills of risk-reward driving, there is no better experience than getting the chance to strap on your helmet and enter the rally-car driving world. From wheel spins and handbrake turns, to powerslides and jumps, anyone who’s ever watched and wondered what it would be like to race their way around a rally car track will be in for the ultimate fun with this gift experience.

If you can’t find the perfect gift for your friends and family, then this holiday why not give them an experience that they will never forget.
