Experience Days in Yorkshire

Yorkshire - Experience Days

Welcome to the shop. I've brought together a whole selection of experience days in Yorkshire from different merchants all over the web, the common factor being that they all happen in Yorkshire. I've tried a few of these myself over the past couple of years and can guarantee they make brilliant gifts. They're even better as last minute gifts, because with most of them you can print off a gift certificate at home.

Performance Car Driving Days

These are days at race tracks in Yorkshire (mainly Elvington) driving some of the most amazing performance cars known to man. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Caterham 7's and more. These are fantastic fun, and make great corporate entertainment days as well.

Spa Days

Being pampered can make life seem a whole lot better sometimes - and these days at luxury spas around Yorkshire, cover facials, massages,  saunas, steam rooms, and generally just totally relaxing in luxury surroundings.

Bungee Jumping and Rope Courses

Ideal for those with no sense of their own mortality. Bungee jumping and rope courses are available at various places in Yorkshire. Leave your brain behind before engaging  in this activity. 

Rally Driving

Rally driving is one of the most skilled forms of motor sport. Unlike the tedium of formula 1, with rally driving every situation is unique, and learning to cope with these situations is really beneficial to driving skills as a whole. Locations for these days out are generally in North Yorkshire. 

Off-Road Driving

Now this is my favourite type of driving experience. Off-road driving in landrovers and quad bikes is tremendous fun. I've written up a quad-bike day near Thirsk that I did last year, and that's a pretty good guide to what these sort of experiences are like.

Swinton Park Cookery School

Swinton Park is one of the grandest stately homes in Yorkshire, near Masham. Nowadays it's a top class luxury hotel and conference centre. Throughout the year they run events like garden design days, wine appreciation lunches and jewel appreciation days. It's also home to a renowned cookery school featuring Rosemay Shrager, with courses on seafood, modern british and mediterranean cookery. There are even  special courses for children and men.

Bird of Prey Days

Bird of prey handling days are absolutely amazing experiences. I did one near  castleford last year and it was unforgettable. On my day out,  I flew  a Harris Hawk, a European Eagle Owl and a peregrine. These are available at fantastic locations in the Dales.

Miscellaneous

Thsi is where I've added everything that just didn't fit anywhere else. Thinks like ghost hunting, ice climbing, pole dancing and lots more.

Sphereing/Zorbing

What on earth is that you ask? Well, Zorbing is being strapped into a giant plastic ball and rolled downhill. This particular brannd of idiocy used to be confined to New Zealand, but it's now broken out and reached Leeds. Why anyone would pay money to be treated like this is beyond me, but they do as many an MP can testify.

Luxury Hotel Breaks

For when the batteriers are run down and life's just a little too much, these breaks are guaranteed to refresh, revive ans invigorate. Locations all over Yorkshire. 

Parachuting

Once upon a  time parachuting involved jumping out of an aeroplane. Now there's also indoor parachuting in Sheffield as well. Suppose you have to find something to do with all those disused steel works.

Flying Experiences

Various flying things at various locations in Yorkshire. helicopter sightseesing trips, acrobatics in Tiger Moths, Microlight flights, gliding , flying lessons. I'd particularly recommend the helicopter trips, as in many of them you can choose your own route, and might even be able to fly over your own house.
