Wedgwood Tour, Pottery Class and Lunch for Two
Enjoy a fascinating insight into the world of Wedgwood with an experience that combines the history and nostalgia of this famous brand as well as the chance to have some hands on fun at the Wedgwood Visitor Centre. Start with coffee and shortbread on arrival, followed by a self guided tour of the centre where you'll learn all about Josiah Wedgwood and his company, see some rare museum pieces and watch the master potters at work. Next up enjoy a two course lunch (served on Wedgwood china, of course!). Then it's time to get your hands dirty - literally! Helped by a master craftsman you'll throw a pot of your own each. When you've finished, Wedgwood will fire your pots and post them to you at home, so they can take pride of place on your mantelpieces. You'll also receive an exclusive gift (a beautiful bone china hand-painted coaster) from the exclusive range of products at the centre, a privilege card giving you two years' free entry and a 10 percent discount on entry to nearby Trentham Gardens.

Champagne Flight Over London for Two
This experience gives you a unique perspective on the sights of London - and one that doesn't involve being either cooped up on the tube or jostled on crowded pavements. After a short pre-flight briefing you'll board a Piper Seneca twin-engine plane for a fantastic half hour sightseeing trip. After taking off in Essex you'll follow the Thames west into the heart of the city, getting a view of the capital that most people only see on the opening titles of EastEnders. Whilst toasting your flight with a bottle of champagne you'll see the Millennium Dome, Tower Bridge, HMS Belfast, the towers at Canary Wharf, the London Eye and the Houses of Parliament, then turn north to fly over Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace and the royal parks, before heading back east to land in Essex. You'll get an amazing perspective on the geography of the city and the beauty of its landmarks - and whether you're tourists or Londoners born and bred, you'll see the capital in a whole new way.

Rapid Running for Two
Get ready for some thrilling white water action - with this experience you'll be shooting the churning rapids and jumping the falls in... well, in a duckie. It sounds a bit wet (in more ways than one), but duckies are great fun - they're small inflatable open rafts, holding just three people, so you're closer to the action than in regular white water rafts. Your two-hour session will begin with a safety briefing and instruction on handling the duckie, then you'll head out onto the river. There'll be three people in each duckie, including the instructor, as you head off down the river and hit the rapids. The white water grading system goes from one (gentle) to six (too rough to offer commercially) - this centre is graded between one and three, meaning that it's great fun for beginners but still offers some real thrills and challenges. We're confident that you'll take to this like a duckie to water...

Western Horse Riding Experience
Discover your inner cowboy (or cowgirl) on this great day out in the New Forest, England's answer to the Wild West (okay there's lots of trees and not many cacti, but bear with us). You'll start off with coffee, bacon rolls and a briefing from your ranch hand. Then head up to the field to meet and catch your horse, before learning how to groom and tack him up Western style. Then have a Western riding lesson in the arena - it's easier to learn and feels more secure than riding English-style, so it's great even for beginners. And those cowboys had to spend all day in the saddle, so they made damn sure it was comfortable! Take a break for a barbecue lunch and then head off on the Western Trail into the forest. You'll finish up back at the ranch, to untack, rub down and feed your horse, and turn him out to pasture before you settle down to a well-earned coffee. Rawhide!
