Brilliant experience that I was given as a gift... Mick, our expert in the FV 432, was clear and knowledgeable and funny! Plenty of opportunities to ask questions and learn, driving the actual tank round a very muddy track, and firing the huge paintball gun to top it off!!

The show Twist & Shout was professionly performed by 6 very good performers.The overnight accommodation was the best we have stayed in consisting of a large spotless bathroom a large double bed in a very sumptuous bedroom.

The whole experience from booking the activities to taking part and the farewell was 5stars... Extremely well organised, felt very safe in regard to both the activity being undertaken and current covid circumstances. Overall it was really good fun and plenty of time was spent on all activities. Although everyone said they'd quite happily stay there all day!!

We had an absolutely fantastic time distilling our own gin. The team were so knowledgable and guided us through the process - with lots of G+Ts along the way! Cocktail making was great fun, with an added twist ;) I really enjoyed selecting my own botanicals to make a completely bespoke gin. Would 100% recommend this - it's worth every penny for a gin-lover.
