I just had an amazing day at Tanks-A lot! 11 hours in total, I got to drive 3 tanks, Then had great fun in a Springer buggy, we then did Clay shooting, we then did flint-lock musket shooting, Mortar loading and firing, we then had a mint talk about weapons and IEDs, then survival skills and then we crushed a Peugeot 307 Mint day out, I highly recommend it

Warner's Distillery

We make gin the authentic way: we’re gin farmers. It’s dirty hands, hard work, full hearts, a deep love of the land and respect for our community. Our gins are crafted with nature: water from our spring, home-grown botanicals, fresh honey from our bees. We re-sow, replant, give back to nature. Real craft means graft. When it’s time to distil, we question, experiment and invent epic gins, including some never imagined before. We do it in small batches in our gorgeous bespoke copper stills, Curiosity and Satisfaction. So, raise a glass with us: to craft, to the land, to laughter and loved ones. In the end, those are the things that matter most.

The Curiosity Tour was brilliant from start to finish. We started with a complimentary drink, then the tour guide gave an overview of the distillery, the farms history before a walk into one of the farms fields, one of the botanical Gardens and then to the distillery, before then finishing off with a session on sample 5-6 different gins, whilst the guide talks you through the background of each one and how they were created etc. Tour lasted approx 1.5 hrs as is well worth the money - I’m pretty sure you get your money’s worth back in gin anyway, plus you get £5 off at the Tack shop and if you don’t fancy purchasing anything, there’s no pressure to as you get a miniature gin to take away if you choose not to spend the £5 voucher, so no one loses out. Fantastic day out, and the local pub, The Tollemache Arms is worth a visit afterwards too

A fantastic day out enjoying the Hawk and Owl encounter. A beautiful place in a fantastic location and an unforgettable experience with friendly knowledgeable staff Jo and Emily getting to meet lots of beautiful birds of prey and getting to fly 5 different kinds of them. The centre also does lots of well needed conservation work with wild birds of prey too. Would highly recommend and am definitely planning a return visit.

Trapp'd Corby

Locked inside one of our amazing themed rooms, the task is simple - escape within 60 minutes or face being TRAPP'D forever!

Reviewed By 690rial

We were greeted by Phil our games master who was very welcoming. Having done quite a few Trapp'd rooms we were quite prepared for the themeing to fairly good and atmospheric. The puzzles were logical and flowed nicely with the storyline. A really good use of the space available. Phil was a really good GM and read our progress well and only communicated with us when he saw signs of us not making progress with particular puzzles. Looking forward to going again soon!

been to Northampton rooms today and done molten creek mine with a group of friend, and yes we manage to escape just in 57.35 and came out rather dusty especially one friend who had dust all down her back but what mines aren’t so added to the atmosphere to make it all the more fun, so make sure to wear old clothes, Dan our host was brilliant very friendly from the moment we arrived to leaving, done a great intro and also gave a few helpful hints when most needed, and took photos with all our phones at the end for us, so thank you Dan for being a great host
