Husky Dog Sledding For Two and A Family Spectator Day
You don't need to go to the Arctic wilderness. Huskies love to run, so if the sled is on wheels then any terrain works. All you need to think about is holding on tight, these dogs don't hang around for slow boarders! But don't worry, we're not going to throw you to them (they are quite happy with their diet of meat and fish), you'll meet a husky handler who can explain what the dogs do, why and give some history of where they come from. You'll be shown how to ride the cart and control the dogs and along with your handler, will get to ride behind a team of two to four dogs through the stunning Darent Valley. Back at the centre, warm up with a hot drink and piece of cake. It may look easy, but the balance and skill required makes for some tiring mushing or hiking (terms used to run the sled). You also get a family pass for two adults and two children into the centre, which houses many fascinating creatures including displays of reptiles and birds.

Raymond Blanc's Le Manoir Break for Two
It's hard to say what's best about Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons. Is it the glorious Cotswold location, the beautiful gardens, the individually decorated rooms or the exceptional food? Le Manoir is the fulfilment of chef Raymond Blanc's vision to open the perfect hotel and restaurant. Housed in a lovingly restored 15th century manor, it's the perfect place to relax, recharge, and spend some special time together. The menu has been described as 'a twist of imaginative genius' and the cuisine is undoubtedly the focus of every guest's visit. You'll enjoy a five course Menu Classique meal at the two-Michelin-starred restaurant, followed by an overnight stay in a superb Junior Suite. The following morning, after a fine French breakfast, take some time to wander in the beautiful gardens: a magnificent two acre vegetable and herb garden, an English water garden, fed by natural springs, and a tranquil Japanese tea garden. You'll also take home a signed copy of one of Raymond's cookery books.

Husky Dog Sledding for Adult and Child and Family Pass
Whoever said you had to have snow to ride behind a team of husky dogs? You don't need to take your child to the white Arctic wilderness. Huskies just love to run, so if the sled is on wheels then any terrain works. All you need to think about is holding on tight, these dogs don't hang around for slow boarders! Don't worry though, we're not just going to throw you to the dogs (they're quite happy with their diet of meat and fish!), you'll get a chance to meet a real husky handler who can explain what the dogs do, why and give some history where they come from. You can pet the animals and help put on their harnesses before jumping on and enjoying a stunning trip through the Darent Valley behind a team of at least eight huskies. And the best bit is that you can sit back and relax while your handler does all the hard work of mushing or hiking (terms used to run the sled) and controlling the animals. Back at the centre you can warm up with a hot drink and a piece of cake.
