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!!

Birds of Prey Experiences - By appointment only. Up close personal encounters with amazing birds of prey that will delight and amaze and I guarantee they will have a great time. My customer comments say it all. Sorry we are not a centre where you can turn up at any time for a look around. Our experiences are pre-booked. My birds of prey days give lots of handling and up close experiences. I have small groups of up to six participants (20-30 are not uncommon elsewhere). We concentrate on being with the birds - handling, flying, feeding and finding out all those special fascinating facts. I like lots of questions and delve into my 45 years of falconry experience to answer them. I have a great location here in the countryside, marvelous birds and a generous welcome. This is a Birds of Prey Experience That Won't Disappoint - This is A Gift As Special As You Are!
I had been looking forward to going on a falconry experience for many years since participating briefly at a country show. The session was absolutely brilliant in every way. We had the opportunity to get up close and personal with several species of bird. Owls (Tawny and Little owls), a Harris Hawk, an Eagle Owl, a Peregrine/Lanner Falcon and the majestic Steppe Eagle. Andrew Blake and his son Duncan were very knowledgeable and explained the different characteristics of the birds. This made the experience more enriching as you developed a greater understanding of characteristics of the different species. There was plenty of contact with the birds too and some were even amenable to being stroked or fed from the hand. Any nature lover would find this a really enjoyable and fun day. I would recommend you go with a friend if you can as there are endless opportunities for photos, but if solo (as I was) the other participants oblige.

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.

Leicester's first live escape games! ASYLUM: You have been caught trespassing on an abandoned asylum and the spirit of Evelyn has trapped you in. She will not let you out until you have solved her murder. Solve or perish, the choice is yours.. CIRQUE DU SLAY: The circus is back in town... However all is not what it seems... It's prize act? An evil clown with a thirst for blood! Can you escape before you star in his line-up? CABIN: Cabin is home to an eyeless monster by the name of Eyeball Bill! After losing his eyes in freak game of poker, The legend was created! Curiosity makes you enter, can you escape before he returns to claim your eyes?!
A day out in Leicester took us to Escape Asylum today, where we tried all 3 of their rooms. Asylum...well...not a good idea if you’re sensitive to flashing lights or have heart problems! ????❤️ The first part of the room doesn’t quite fit with the rest of the theme but is good fun if you can overcome the frustration! Once we got past that the scares commenced & Games Master Olivia manipulated the atmosphere brilliantly to prey upon our natural nervousness at being locked in an asylum with the ghost of Edith, who wasn’t going to let us out alive unless we solved her murder. ????????????????⚗️????⚰️????This game is geared towards mental conundrums & centres upon solving one central puzzle. By the time we’d figured that out (with a lot of confusion & feeling a bit stupid along the way) we were just a bit too confused & slow at grasping how to complete the very final task & ran out of time. ⌛️????Whilst I didn’t enjoy his game as much as some, just because it doesn’t have as much puzzle type variety as we really like, it’s a well staged room which will certainly raise your pulse rate & the hour will fly by. ????⏰???? Having been killed by Edith in the Asylum our spirits went on to try their luck at Cirque du Slay’s circus. ???????????? Finding ourselves in Momo’s circus lair some of the tasks in there were quite straightforward, others a little trickier to figure out. Evil Clown Momo made us squirm to ask for help, but Kind Clown Momo repaid our efforts when we asked nicely enough & aptly named Games Master Mo played both parts brilliantly. ????????This game is a bit more practical than Asylum- if compared to the Crystal Maze tv programme it’d feature a little bit each of skill, mental & physical. ????????♀️⏰ This was by far my favourite room of the day with a great blend of things to do, a cool quirky ending & a few giggles & squeals along the way! Having enjoyed the first two rooms we decided on the spur of the moment to go & have some dinner before coming back & taking on Eyeball Bill in his cabin. ????????????This was scare free, a welcome relief after the other two rooms! As with Asylum there’s one skill type puzzle near the beginning which doesn’t seem to have much to do with the rest of the theming but other than that it’s largely well thought out & immersive. It’ll have you scooting backwards & forwards and there are a wider variety of puzzle types in this room than Asylum, but it still has it’s challenges & similarly there were a couple of puzzles we just felt baffled by. ????????????????️???? Thankfully the Sheriff, well played by Olivia, was kind in rewarding our funky chicken dancing with some tips when we really needed them which meant we just about escaped with our eyeballs intact! ???????? This is the only room I’d say is potentially family friendly, depending entirely on how resilient your child is. Compared to many escape room venues this is a very professional & slick operation, themed from the moment you enter & well located within the city centre. The GM’s were really friendly, clearly enjoy their work & made our visit a great experience. The games here aren’t for the feint hearted, not overly suitable for young children & I wouldn’t say they’d be the best choice for your first ever escape room experience as they’re not as straight forward as some, but for a challenging & fun day out with some scary thrills & a few laughs as well they’re definitely worth the trip. ????⏱ Apparently they’re opening a new venue in Leicester this summer with 6 rooms. I really hope they’re not all scare/horror based as I’m not really a fan of the scary or really spooky, but either way I’m already looking forward to coming back & giving them a try. ☀️????????????????
