'Les Miserables' Kids' Club Family Day for Eight
Let the kids have some fun while mums and dads get some grown-up time. First of all, before the day, you'll be sent a synopsis of the show on CD (read by Sir Ian McKellan) so that you're familiar with the story. The big day starts off with a fantastic three-hour workshop for the children - no adults allowed! This includes a backstage tour of the theatre and a drama workshop based on improvisational games that will bring out your inner stars. The workshop ends which a re-enactment of a scene from the show, using real costumes and props, plus a chance to quiz a real member of the Les Mis cast and a certificate to take home. A packed lunch with a sandwich, crisps, apple and juice is included (sorry but special dietary needs can't be catered for, so bring your own lunch if you prefer). Meanwhile, parents are free to enjoy London, returning to the theatre in time for the whole family to watch a matinee performance of the hit musical.

Powerboat Racing Day
You know how most James Bond films include at least one great chase down a river? This experience is your chance to have a go at driving the sorts of boats Bond uses (just without the hail of bullets). You'll start off with a safety briefing and an introduction to the boats, and then have a two-hour session in the OSY Hydroplanes. Driven either kneeling or lying down, these are the go-karts of the powerboat world - small, fast and terrific fun. After a hot buffet lunch you'll receive a short briefing on the boats that you'll be driving in the afternoon. Then you'll be back on the water, trying out Formula 4 and 5 catamarans and T850 and T750 monohulls - all of which are race-prepared, high-performance single-seater boats powered by outboard engines. Finish the day with tea, and collect your certificate and souvenir T-shirt. The day is organised by a world speed record holder, so you'll be in excellent hands, Mr Bond.

Medieval Jousting Experience
Life during medieval times might have been grubby, brutal and plague-ridden, but give them their due - they knew how to have fun. And so will you as you make like a knight during this day of old-fashioned antics. You'll start off with a riding assessment, an overview of the equipment and an introduction to the history of jousting. Then you'll take part in various activities on and off your horse, all originally rooted in learning the art of war, including neck reining and learning how to use a flag, lance and shield. Then practise with your lance on the formidable quintaine, a spinning target. After lunch you'll learn a choreographed fight sequence, including broad sword or quarterstaff fighting, before dressing in medieval costume (oh yes, you're going the whole medieval hog here) and putting all you've learnt into action during a tournament. The day will end with the presentation of certificates, and then you can ride off to find a few dragons to slay.
