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.

Camel Riding for Two
What image does the phrase 'camel riding' conjure up? Deserts, shimmering heat, pyramids in the background? Think again. Camel riding has come to England - it's fun, relaxing, and you get a cracking view from up there. You'll start off with some refreshments and a welcome brief before you go and meet the camels. After saying hello and having a chance to get used to them, you'll be shown how to put a bridle and a saddle on your camels. Then you and your trusty steeds will head out on a peaceful ride through lovely countryside, accompanied by instructors. Camels are friendly and inquisitive, and each has its own quirky personality, so we're sure that you'll make new pals. Your camels will be led at all times by an instructor and you'll also learn a bit about their history and habits (the camels' that is, not your instructor's). At the end of your trek you can reward your camel with a groom and a feed and then enjoy a glass of champagne with some strawberries before you say goodbye.

Primate Keeper for Two
You don't have to go all the way to South America to get up close and personal with primates. Coming to some tree-tops near you (well, in Cornwall anyway) are some beautiful and endangered woolly and capuchin monkeys. This experience involves a trip to a sanctuary dedicated to their welfare and conservation and is a must for any fans of these beautiful creatures. After meeting primate keepers and receiving a health and safety briefing, assist the team with cleaning out the woolly monkeys, meet the capuchins and hear about their backgrounds. Take a well deserved lunchbreak at Tree Top Cafe, after which you will help prepare the woolly monkeys' lunchtime fruit bowl, pick wild leaves from the Victorian gardens and get involved in monkey enrichment. After a quick coffee break, learn how to make a capuchin fruit bowl. Each of you will take home a t shirt and certificate, photos of the monkeys you have met and a one year free membership of the sanctuary.

Jewellery Making Workshop for Two
Finding the perfect jewellery to match an outfit can be a nightmare. You are almost guaranteed that everything you see will be the wrong length, the wrong colour beads, too shiny - what is a girl to do? Where on earth do the likes of Kate Moss and Kylie find the funky beads and crystals that seem to complement the style guru image you are after? Well they enlist the likes of Claire Aristides to help them catch your eye and with this experience you'll get to spend a day with the style queen herself, learning how to create your own fabulous jewellery. From crimping to wiring (don't worry, Claire will explain all the funny words on the day!), attaching clasps, dying metal and working with different components, you will be assisted from design concept to creation. Any jewellery you make on the day is yours to take home and averages a value of thirty five pounds.
